[SOLVED] Cosmetic Build rating?

[ToxicFurBall]

So I’ve recently decided to throw a parts list together for a really aesthetically pleasing build, I know I could’ve used less flashy parts to get better performance but the look was huge for me on this one so let me know what you guys think!

Also forgot the mention the build is mainly going to be used for gaming/ recording and video editing

$150 for a case runs counter to my 'tight wad' nature, given the excellent Corsair 100R/200 cases for about only $50-$60, but, as you said aesthetics were important,... as long as you like the case, then it is indeed what is important.

Be aware that unless your X470 mainboard is specifically noted to contain a relatively recent BIOS that supports Ryzen 3000 series CPUs, it may not work out of the box, in which case you'd require either access to a previous gen CPU to flash the BIOS to a recent one, or, a motherboard that supports flashing the BIOS (version 4804 or later support 3600/3700X) without a CPU (BIOS FLashback feature, of which the this board does not meantion in it's manual or specs that I could find)

I dont care about looks, whatever floats your boat.

Strongly, strongly suggest you can up your monitor to a 27" 1440p (non curved) at least. The box merely drives the monitor, our interface. EVERYTHING you do on your pc will be better.
its not even 24". It may aswell be a tablet. Im being brutally honest.

Up the SSD to 1tb. Save $ elsewhere. For example, lose the strix in the mobo name and save. If you have limited budget spend $ on stuff that will make a difference.

Made a few changes for better performance along with the looks. Better cooler, better board, better RAM, better PSU and better monitor...
