[SOLVED] Feedback on the build:

[Santori]

Hi,

so my brother recommended me a build similar to what he owns right now.

I wanted an oppinion of you guys, what do you think of it. Its supposed to be compatible (all the parts together) and apparently it should be a decent setup for a couple of years.

Thank you in advance.

Better CPU & GPU for cheaper. I also changed out the SATA SSD for a M.2 NVMe SSD as it's faster and cheaper. You also don't need a aftermarket cooler, the stock Wraith coolers are quite good.
