Need Help Choosing Parts
I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice. Going from a "gaming laptop" to a desktop and want to treat myself. I mainly play Microsoft Flight Simulator and fps games.

Hello @Dumpweed. No changes I could recommend here other than the hard drive. 5400RPM is okay but the 7200 is what I would go with for performance. Your M.2 and 2.5 inch SSD are great for games but for storage, the 5400RPM will be quite slow by comparison and will bottleneck your system. What monitor do you plan on using for your system?
