Question Need Suggestion - For My High-End PC Gaming Build

[d4niel]

Howdy,

I am seeking your suggestions related to my processor and motherboard because I'm very confused. Do I need to change anything, or is this the perfect pick for my setup? Basically, I need a high-end build that can handle AAA games like COD (War Zone), Dota 2, GTA V, etc.

I wanna be a professional gamer and streamer and this is my 1st step towards that goal. I'm both excited and worried about this decision, and I don't want to make any hasty choices. So please help me pick the best and high end PC parts for my build.

Off the top of my head:

Have you researched what temps might be in a "mini" case with a high powered CPU and a high-end video card? Airflow is likely to be important. That case is a "meshify", so may be adequate, but "mini" implies small size, so I'd check on that.

Have you confirmed that your chosen cooler will in fact fit in your chosen case?

I'm hardly a professional gamer, but do you have reason to believe 1 TB total storage is enough?

That CPU has a lot of cores and threads....not sure how necessary that would be considering your video card and total budget. Games don't often need that many cores, but "professional gamers" level may have unusual requirements?
