Been a while since I've seen a build with a 450 dollar motherboard.

I assume it has features that you need that are not available at lower cost.

Honestly i dont think so, was suggested by a friend

 

[Why_Me]

Games benefit from low latency RAM RE CL30.

If you prefer running dual M.2 SSD's (o/s and storage) then look at this board.

The difference between the locked 12 gen i7 and the unlocked i7 is one frame per second on average. I doubt it's any different with the 13 gen i7's.

 

[Why_Me]

If you prefer RGB then switch out the case and cooler with these.

A good build.
My thoughts:

I would simply use a single 2tb m.2 for the C drive.
If/when it fills up, then get more storage.

The processor is capable of driving much stronger graphics cards as a future upgrade. Buy a 850w version of the psu.

The motherboard does seem expensive.
