Apacer SSD AS2280P4 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen3x4
Monitor:
Gigabyte G27FCA 27" VA FHD 165Hz 1ms
Is this build suitable? Does it meet your requirements?
Main suggestions: A higher quality SSD would be ideal if available. Apacer seems to appear in OEM setups, though they aren’t recognized for top-tier drives. If a PCIe 4.0 slot offers only slight performance gains, I’d choose it for better speed. I favor Silicon Powers UD90 models for affordability with decent quality. The Antec atom power supply might work but likely isn’t necessary right now.
Monitor recommendations: Devices with VA panels often struggle with pixel response at high refresh rates, causing blurry images during fast movements. An IPS panel would be preferable despite a higher price.
Soft advice: With a decent budget, a better b760 or a motherboard supporting DDR5 with faster RAM would boost performance. Your current setup should function well if the BIOS is up to date. Otherwise, the 14400f CPU, solid RAM, and a budget cooler make it a solid choice. A 7700xt card also offers good value.
