Need advice on PC specs
Hi everyone! I've spent the past couple months going through different possible PC build variations, and I'm looking for some advice as a student who's trying to be smart about current prices. I'm mainly going to be using it for games like Valorant, Minecraft, and some AAA stuff (e.g., Detroit Become Human).
Here's what I'm working with right now:
Monitor (already have): 1440p 165Hz
Parts picker: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/fJWW3R
Questions:
1. Are there any components here that I might be able to swap out to lessen the cost without taking a huge hit on quality?
2. Any pointers in terms of any bottlenecks/future-proofing
3. I'm hoping there are no compatibility issues but is there anything else to be aware of (e.g., hardware being a tight squeeze in the case, cooling adequacy, etc.)?
4. How necessary is a UPS
This would be my first PC (terrible timing with the market prices, I know) so safe to say I'm pretty new to the specifics of it all, and I'd appreciate any help I can get! Thank you in advance :-)
