Hey all, first time builder and poster here. Looking for advice on my proposed build: are there any parts I can minmax, e.g. make the build work better / perform the same but with cheaper parts? Mostly upgrading because my current PC doesn't perform well any more with pretty basic games (e.g. can't progress in endgame in POE due to performance issues on low settings).
Thanks in advance!
