Spot check on fresh build
###Build Help/Ready:
This is going to be my first build in a while and I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't overlooking something super silly. I already have an OS and hard drives.
The goal is to be able to play star citizen and cyberpunk reasonably well as well as maintain performance for the next 3-5 years
Thanks in advance

By the time star citizen comes out we will be on ryzen 10,000
All jokes (or is it?) aside this is more than enough to play cyberpunk at 1080p. I would probably not bother buying a SN750, the SN550 is more than enough for gaming and $40 cheaper.
I should have expected comments like this having mentioned star citizen lol. It is technically in a "playable" state in the sense that I can boot it up and fly around and kill a couple hours.
I just want to have a smooth experience with it (as smooth as a 'alpha' can be at least)
*edit: I understand the joking though. And am on board with the "if it is ever released" train
from what I've seen you won't get a smooth experience regardless of what hardware you have lol. Game is optimised like a monkey coded it.
At least I will know that it isn't hardware holding me back.
Thanks for the build check
