Question Did I make a good choice?

[MhN]

Hello! I made a build these days and I don't know if I made the right choice. I had a budget of $1200 and I need it strictly for gaming. Until now I was an AMD hater, but someone recommended this build to me. Did I make the right choice? I plan to upgrade with another ssd in future.

If your current system was AM4, i would definitely advice upgrading to a 5800X3D and call it a day.

for starting out new, i would advice the 12th gen with which you can upgrade to 14700k

It's not a garbage tier PSU, but it's really disappointing to see these specs combined with an entry-level SeaSonic that isn't even made by SeaSonic. It's a cheap one that's outsourced (to Helly, IIRC).
