Thanks for this build! I had a couple of questions here.
1. I noticed that the video I posted had a ASUS ROG Strix B450-F motherboard for $126.99. Is there a reason you prefer the Gigabyte X570 at $154?
2. For the PSU, is it better going with a Bronze certified 850W or a Gold certified 650W?
3. For the monitors, I had forgotten to mention that I prefer a 27" monitor. Are there other options in the same price range? I found this on Amazon, with the same refresh rate.

4. You had a Seagate Barracuda 3 TB included for $109.99. I saw that Amazon had the 2 TB for $49.99. Should I just get 2 of the 2 TB ones, since I'd get an additional TB of storage for less price?

5. Is there a different case that you could recommend? The top rated reviews for that one on Amazon have quite a few 1-stars ratings.
Thanks again for the help!!!
