Need an upgrade for POE2
Site is throwing a few warnings, but nothing that seems too bad
LMK thoughts on build. Wanting this to last the life of POE2.

Thanks for any feedback.

i wouldnt say failures, but there is a good but of wasted money in your build and it lasting "the life of POE2" depends on how long POE2 lasts. you already started off with a 5+yr old CPU so that is not looking good. i tried to maintain as much of your build as possible but upgraded it to a 12900K, newer motherboard and ram, and more reliable power supply for $100 less and no warnings. if you want, id be happy to suggest a completely different build for even less money and more performance, PM me and ill set something up for you, but for now check out these edits.

Wow thank you.

Wondering if there is something suboptimal about this machine:

I've always built my own, but these retailers are selling more powerful machines than what I can make for cheaper, how?

They are buying parts direct, not retail, thats how they do it cheaper. also, these commonly have just 1 stick of ram rather than 2, so you lose dual channel which can hurt performance. lastly, this is intel 14000 which have major cpu issues, not worth the headache, i would recommend stopping at 12000 intel or going AMD, the 7800x3d is undeniably good for gaming.
