Is this a good Build?
Right now I’m playing on an old gaming PC equipped with an i5 6500P processor, which is quite slow and causes problems with many games. Recently, I started trying to play Codex and experienced frequent packet loss and stutters, even when using the game’s low graphics settings. A lot of users believe the issue comes from the CPU, since it reaches its maximum performance at 100% during gameplay, which also leads to audio problems.
I’ve assembled this system using a part picker. If you have any suggestions or need advice on adjustments, please let me know.
Currently, I own a 1070 GPU that I plan to keep for now until I can afford a better model. I also have a 1TB NVMe SSD in my existing setup and might consider purchasing another one if needed. While RGB lighting is a topic of debate, I prefer a visually appealing build with nice colors and a cool case.

I'd avoid the 13th and 14th Gen Intel processors due to their degradation issues. Instead look at an AM5 platform from AMD. I have put together this PC on part picker, if you guys could take a look and let me know if I need or should change anything? Users are advised to sylize their threads with info asked of in this thread; *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice* How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel... forums. which in turn helps the community chime in with worthwhile suggestions. I know the whole RGB is something that’s argued on, but i like having a nice looking setup with a nice themed colour etc, and a CPU cooler display etc I have RGB on my build, just that I've set them to off.
Your assembly is incomplete without a motherboard, and there’s no reference to the resolution you play on.
Build emphasizing performance and style, with enhanced visual appeal at a higher cost.
