Spec check and advise please

[Cottee]

hi all, you guys have helped me build my last 3 machines but before I press the trigger. Can some one have a look at the below please to see if I can improve it anyway. I was going to wait for the 3000 series cards but yesterday my old machine has finally given up the ghost so it’s time to build a new one. I love the white theme and the 680x so that’s a must, thanks for any help.

What is the build for? That system is good for some things but not for others.

It will just be for gaming and running the Samsung 49” ultra wide monitor, just reading the 3000 series cards might not be a lot more powerful I might stretch to a 2080ti.

Better value with Ryzen. Kept the White theme, although you are paying a premium for that as well.

There is a White version of the RMx which comes with White braided cables, although no longer sold on here.
