Greetings. What is the intended use of the PC and your overall budget?

Yingdong

Super spendy, super good, love it. Just one thing, use the 870 evo instead of qvo, they are using qlc on qvo which is not good.

Yingdong -- Thanks for the feedback, I did not know the difference of the two.

Ian -- I would probably use it for a lot of my everyday things, but my main focus would be gaming and drafting software (i.g. AutoCAD, Eagle, etc.). I know it is definitely overkill 😬, so I was thinking I would hold back on maybe half the ram, smaller cpu and gpu??

Ian

What is your intended budget for the build if you're looking scale back on what you have picked out?

Probably no more than 3,5k if I can get the same speeds/reliability/etc. The last thing I would want is to bog it down due to excessive usage, but don't want to have too much excess if I can't use it to its full potential and I know I can always upgrade at a later time if i need to.

Any requirements on rgb lighting? What do you mean exact by hold back a little? For 3.5k it's enough to max out on most parts.
