Hey guys,
here’s a build I’ve slapped together on PPP:

What do you think? Any obvious blunders? Anything I could do better? I’ll run Mint on it and I want to do some gaming, AI work and general PC stuff.

Your build looks pretty good overall, so the only suggestions I have are pretty minor ones. I’m only familiar with the Canadian market, so some of this may not apply to you, but:
The sn7100 is a much faster drive that sometimes goes on sale for not much more than what pcpartpicker shows for your wd blue - especially for gaming and ai stuff I’d check out that or the Kingston nv3 for faster load times in case the prices are close.
For memory, if you can find a CL30 kit in the same price range as your CL36 I’d make the upgrade - teamgroup has one that looks pretty similar to Corsair’s and is usually a decent amount cheaper (just make sure you get the CL30 variant and not the CL38). RAM prices have been fucked recently tho thanks to AI, so ymmv here.
For motherboards, gigabyte’s B850 elite board might come close in price to what you’re looking at depending on sales and it has wifi 7, which isn’t super relevant if you plan to hardwire but could make a big difference if not (at least once you have a wifi7 router, which most people do not lol).
These are all just small improvements that wouldn’t increase the cost much where I shop, so if any of them are gonna cost way more definitely ignore that suggestion cuz your build is totally fine as is.
Thanks, I’ll check out those alternatives.
