keyboard/mice are preference idk about that keyboard but i know the mouse is good. if you want lighter mouse with less buttons i use the lightspeed and it's my favourite mouse of all time
you can add a second monitor, preference also kind of i selected a 2k 144hz 27" monitor

you can spend more if you want to but i dont think you need to

Ty I'm a little behind on the new technology is a 6900 comparable to the 4090 which I know costs like 2k and may be overkill but idk. Maybe bigger more interesting looking case would be nice too.

nvidias latest gpu series are a price gouging arena don't really recommend them unless you are needing crazy ray tracing

I also have this question the 6900 xt and the 7900 xt are roughly the same price. Why the 6900 xt in particular if the 7900 outperforms?

because of the games you're playing, lol, you can go to the 7900 xtx, can spend the $200 to future proof a little more if ya want

Hey I went with your build but made some adjustments, I went with a 4080 which was about $1200 but according to some benchmark it outperforms the 7900 xtx by a little bit and same price, a liquid cooled processor cooler, and 2 monitors which i got a good deal on cause there amazon warehouse. lmk what you think oh and also got a bigger different case that was recommended

if you checked userbenchmark for your benchmark they are paid by NVIDIA to skew the numbers of AMD vs. NVIDIA fyi.

but at the end of the day preference is all yours! its by no means a bad card just not as future proof memory wise. i personally don't do water cooling because pumps fail frequently on prebuilt CPU liquid coolers and can fry your cpu, but again preference :)

shoot a link of monitor if you want me to double check it, should be an awesome build!

Cpu cooler is corsair h100i. And also you recommend a good speaker system for the computer that isn't too expensive?

i have that monitor it's awesome :)
really speakers are preference as well (depends if you want a subwoofer etc)
i use: Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System (Black) and i love them but they're not cheap
more intro-level speakers would probably be logitech i.e Logitech Z623 400 Watt Home Speaker System, 2.1 Speaker System - Black
