My maximum budget is 1,100, with the monitor included. I'm planning to use a 60hz monitor to get started then I'll upgrade later. I plan to play just games and for general use as I plan to keep this computer for a while.

Hi there, I was planning to buy a 144hz 1080p monitor in the future as I know that the curent monitor I have chosen is not great for playing games. If I removed the rgb ram and the cooler, were would that extra money be spent?

Thanks, what is the difference between the more expensive motherboard and the cheaper one? And is there a real world speed difference between a m.2 drive and an sssd?

Oh! The issue is that ive already ordered my computer and it's on its second day on pre production. Would you amend the order or keep it like I had? Ive had a look on a couple YouTube videos comparing m.2 drive to ssds, the load times are only slightly faster on games (less than a second). It is worth reducing my storage by 500gb?

You can make changes in pre production and it doesn't change when your PC will be built.
