Any issues?

Small issues with the Realtek Audio but hardware wise nothing much, just want to see what to do to increase graphic quality etc.

What's it used for?

What's it used for?

Casual home use, gaming, movies, light video editing (1080p footage nothing heavy)

Should be great IMO. Though its "future upgradability*" isn't really there.

At 3440x1440, graphics performance is going to matter more than anything for most modern games, and there's certainly room to move up to a newer, faster graphics card down the line.

Technically, the processor could be upgraded to an i7 eventually as well, though I suspect it might just be better to swap the motherboard and go with a newer processor at that point, unless a compatible i7 can be found on the used market for a not-too unreasonable price.

Looks like a pretty sweet system, nice boot drive. Future upgradability I think would be a new motherboard, CPU and ram at some point.

This. So much this.

For an unfathomable reason the i7 doesn't depreciate in value until it is quite obsolete. I was looking into an i7 for my Haswell based setup and it would be cheaper to get a Ryzen 5 2600 AND motherboard. Honestly, upgrading Intel systems is not cost effective. Never get an i5 expecting a reasonable cost to upgrade to an i7 later.

Does your monitor have FreeSync, GSync, or neither? If FreeSync, what's the FreeSync range?

So basically a new PC.

I'd swap out that RAM for something that's DDR4-3200 or better but that is me.

Well a new pc minus a graphics card, 3 SSD's 1 HDD, a case, a monitor, a PSU
