I agree with the gist of Luck SLSs build, but a few changes:

Good storage. Dont skimp on SSD space.

Upped the RAM to 3600. Do you want light show or you want substance?

You could save a bit on the mobo. Get an Asus model. just look for the features you need, and get that and no more. e.g. the z370-A. Looks =/= performance.

Fractal R6 case is great. They do a tempered glass version if you want.

recommend noctua a12x25 fans - best fans money can buy - but no lights.
