For me I’d have a better quality case from a known brand (i.e. not a PCS budget option) an AMD 9950X3D, and Corsair SSDs (split into 1TB, 4TB, 4TB).

Although it’s good to see PCS offering NZXT coolers as an alternative to all the Corsair stuff (y)

Thank you for the input Tony

I have been reviewing the CPUs today and i have changed to the 9950x3das you suggested it definitely seems the better of the two for what i intend to use it for. i also changed to the CORSAIR iCUE 5000T RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE.
its definitely good to get others view points.

Thank again.
