How's that sound reproduction department?

That's important thing for best gaming immersion.
And doesn't get old/obsolete in few years...

Something tells me that PC isn't used just for some word processing/web surfing...
So are you using some "multimedia" speakers or China garbage headset for gaming?

Also if local power network isn't the best UPS might be usefull thing to have.

Save your pennies for the 144Hz 4K monitor that's in the offing.

Those are sure very good for music.
Sound stage just apparently isn't the widest so might not be best for gaming.

With good wide sound stage headphones especially in first minute of this there should be big distance separation between various sounds.
With some sounds literally sounding like coming from dozens of meters way.
Instead of coming from say room size "space"... or from bucket around head of game branded China garbages.

If you like more of that early part instead of end of that you would benefit from sound card.
