hey evilskully, not sure what is available around you but you might want to consider getting a lower generation but higher spec graphics card or if you can push the graphics card a bit higher, 8gb of video ram is starting to struggle with newer games.

also unless you work with videos editing or vms etc you probably don't need 128gig of ram it might be worth dropping that to half or even quarter.

storage 1 tb ssd is good for non essential data like game etc but you might also want to consider getting a mechanical hdd for more vital stuff like photos or work. if a ssd fails all data is lost where a hdd has a much better chance of recovery, if your only going to be using the system to game you ignore this bit of advice.

also not sure but i think the motherboard requires a bios update to run that processor and also may only be ddr5 compatible.

i5 isn't ideal and will most certainly be your bottleneck in your system with that video card.

Also, I am not an intel fan but, fan boys will run with what they like.

Lastly, not a fan of mechanical HD's but I get what T is thinking. With that. As long as you keep critical data on a separate drive you should be fine. IF you run with HD's I'd suggest running a pair in RAID 0 to keep from losing your data.

no mention of a case/chassis but from the list it looks like its a pre-built system so I'm guessing there will be no issue with a graphics card fitting but if its not and your planning on building it yourself the biggest potential issue i can see is that the graphics card not fitting into the case.

but also a good resource if you want to explore more is https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

it will tell you any known issues with compatibility or even potential issues like graphics card not fitting it will also find the best prices from a range of outlets

mr-t might have a thought but I think an 800 or 850W Power Supply would be good(er). Also if you are at it snd can do it get a good UPS for protection if your new investment, I use an APC UPS.
