Hey guys, I've saved up some money + I'm selling my old build and I quickly threw this together. Just looking for any advice on anything I could do to optimize/improve the setup. I will be using this mainly for gaming at 1440p. I'd like to keep the price at around 2,000 CAD, but I can go a bit over.
