Funnily (given the $$$ spent) that wouldn’t actually be a very good “gaming PC”, since the single (and even 4-core multi-thread) performance required for optimal gaming would not be met by a 2.9Ghz CPU and would almost certainly throttle the potential of the RTX 3090. It would be insane for content creation though (especially 3D rendering etc).

That was not my first choice of CPU. My fist choice is no longer carried by Newegg, but I have replaced it on my list with something better for gaming.</p>
I over buy the case and PSU. My previous build had the same PSU and case for 5 years. Changed out everything else before replace those two. Old parts are still in use has a file server.
