Most on here wouldn't recommend the PCS version of any component (RAM, cooler, case, fans) as they're usually of unknown/variable manufacturer & quality.

We'd also not recommend a ATX2.4 850W PSU for that combo of CPU and GPU - the lowest, decent ATX3.1 PSU that we'd recommend currently available on here is the 1200RMx Shift.

But to get further assistance, you'll need to give us more details in usage and monitor(s), and the FULL config...all the way down to the price & link.

If you don't urgently need a gaming PC before Christmas, then I'd wait until the new year, as there'll be more stock of the CPUs and the new GPUs will be released...which will either bring down the price of the older models, or get you more performance for the current price.

FYI, GPU price have gone up about 15% in 2 months.
