Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

PowerUnit: 700W
Please mention the make and model of the unit. What you've stated is the advertised wattage of the unit.

Just to point out, there's no such thing as future proofing...everything in the world of tech ends up being obsolete due to the next thing that comes out due to advancements in technology. Yes the build might last a long while but you might need to reduce details on your gaming sessions or you need to accept that some computational tasks take a little longer than when you first built the platform, considering software/app's/games will demand more from your system.

As opposed to you stating your specs generically, can you please pass on a link to all the parts you're eyeing to purchase?

I'd ask the store to detail the specs of each component...provided you have the time to contact them in order to pass it onto us here.

Well - it is not a high end system by any means. More like upper mid-range.

CPU and board is not latest generation.​

16GB might be too little already (depending on your workload).​

Amount of available storage is ridiculously small (considering sizes of modern games, 100GB and larger games are a norm now).​

​

Be careful not to get some garbage PSU for your system. This is extremely important.
