The DS SSD is a SATA M.2. For $21 the Seagate NVMe SSD is 5 times faster. No-Brainer. You will thank yourself every day.

I would get the dual fan all-in-one CPU cooler. Not a place to save IMO.

The MSI board is okay, but the Rog Strix is stronger without costing much more.

The Stage One overclock is free and safe with the dual fan AOI. Don't need it, could get it if you want.

You will love the RTX 2070 SUPER!

-SATA= Serial ATA, the old tech that has become incrementally faster since 2001. Not obsolete, but NVMexpress uses the same interface as video cards and some other peripherals in the slots on the motherboard. It is much faster, and can reach up to 5x as fast. Ideal for the OS and apps you use all the time. Everything opens instantly and you boot to desktop in well under a minute. Maintenance software that scans your drive for malware or viruses executes in seconds instead of minutes. Should be room for several of your favorite games.

-Yes, 500GB Seagate Firecuda 520.

- The RTX 2070 is very good enough for 2560x1440 (1440p) at frame rates well above 60fps on high settings. It's a bit overpowered for 1080p.
