I received some components for a fresh build and am looking for advice on how to optimize the setup. I’m not planning to overclock just yet, keeping that for future adjustments. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. This is my first time diving into PC optimization—I built a system 8 years ago with an i7-3k and GTX 770, so I’m new to the process. I’ve already bought these parts, so swapping them won’t be common anytime soon, though I value your input.
Gaming is the main focus, usually while streaming or playing tabletop games. I also do some basic video editing. Right now I’m playing ESO, planning to try Apex and Valorant. After a long break, I’ve been back for a while. I use two 42-inch 4K TVs, aiming for around 2680 fps or higher. Preferably smoother performance is always better.
I searched for a GPU that offers good value considering recent price increases. For RGB lighting, I found options that might suit your style but could be adjusted later based on the case. If you're aiming for a polished look, consider balancing aesthetics with functionality.

Understood, thanks for the details. I intend to target the NVME drives on 0 to boost performance since it'll be the operating system drive. I might delay the RTX purchase until prices drop, because it's currently half the cost and even with a swap I'd need an extra 300 for the graphics card. At least I can upgrade later if needed, hehe!
The article explains how AMD NVMe RAID boosts sequential read/write speeds for large file transfers, while reducing random access performance. It suggests this trade-off makes RAID less ideal for everyday tasks.
