It depends on the build, but most, if not all motherboards PCS use have at least one rear USB-C port.
That being said, I wouldn’t recommend a ready to ship build for the same reason I don’t recommend an off the shelf prebuilt. Such products tend to cheap out on important components like case, power supply and cooling to keep costs down. One of the big reasons to buy from PCS is that you can pick out each individual component and put together a well balanced build, and as a bonus there are some very knowledgeable people on the forums who are kind enough to share their advice if you ask for it!

I would prop up certain areas but I would consider the monitor and uses. What are you using the system for? Is it purely for gaming? The CPU is a great choice for gaming but if you want to stream etc then you'll likely want to look at something a bit more beefy. For purely gaming it's spot on though.
With the GPU, you need to align that to the monitor. If you're looking at 1440p then it's a great choice, if you're looking at 1080p though the 2060 is a more sensible option.

Hi, still looking at this, price down a little, can I ask why the CORSAIR 650W TXm SERIES™ SEMI-MODULAR 80 PLUS was not good enough? Any other views, on the above spec I am settling on 144hz 1440p monitor - possibly either
iiyama G-Master GB2760QSU-B1 27 Inch 144hz
COOLERMASTER GM27-FQS ARGB 27" 165hz
But any suggestions welcome, I can't really go over budget so can't overdo the monitor, but don't want rubbish either!
with thanks to Mr Wilson in the Desktop thread a few weeks ago, I realise this is more the category for asking for final comments, which would be appreciated.

All views appreciated, especially downgrades that would save a few quid without rendering it not a good gaming machine, as it's a bit over budget, for a 16 yr old that has simply said "get me a pc that's great for gaming with loads of fps" !!
Eeked out some savings below. The PSU isn't somewhere I would skimp to be honest. You're going to seriously limit yourself. The RMx is a good level of PSU, excellent warranty etc and a very high standard. It's worth it. I would actually consider the 850w or even the 1000w PSU for future GPU upgrades.

Hi all, think i have finalised. Went for Coolermaster monitor (did not want curved and dell not available). Upped to 32gb ram - excessive? Went for Lancool 2 case. Added a keyboard/mouse item.
Appreciate any final comments on this! Thank you.
