What's your monitor and budget? What games/software you'll run on this machine?

Could you copy and paste the full list of the specs including the link as explained in the link?

PSU definitely must be upgraded to at least 750W, but 850W recommended - you really don't want to get stuck with a cheap lower quality PSU. Also, M.2 SSD 250GB seems low - 500GB is what I recommend. In 2021 a storage with only 250GB looks unserious to me.

Looks like a pretty decent build for 1440p! Do you know what exact 850W PSU you upgraded to? The Storage setup could also do with some shuffling

Also what's your budget? once we know that we can recommend changes!

Hi yes sorry I thought it had changed! I changed to this; CORSAIR 850W RM SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS
My budget is probably about 500 tbh not much recently due to work and covid

Do you mean you can change the budget by about 500?

I can but ideally I’d rather not of course

I don’t think you’ll need to spend anywhere near that much in upgrades. What’s your total budget? Also do you remember how much the 220T was? It’s not on the configurator anymore and want to make sure I’ve got a vaguely correct price for it.
