Thoughts on this PC build.

Yo,

In the process of upgrading from my old i5-3570K and would like opinions on the following gaming build.

Saving for a new graphics card but the 1660 will do for now, and wondering if pci 4.0 NVME are worth it.

CategoryDescription

MBGigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2AM4 ATX Motherboard
RAMCrucial Ballistix 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz Memory - Black - CL16
PSUCorsair HX750M 750W 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power Supply
CaseNZXT H510i Smart Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Case - Matte White
GPUNVidia GTX 1660 (Salvaged from old computer)
HDDSamsung SSD 840 PRO Series 500gb NVME (Salvaged from old computer)

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

PCIE4 is worth it for sustained reads/writes, so things like video editing, audio editing, gaming is more random, and doesn't see much improvement from the speeds.

Your choice on case, as it is a personal detail, but that case is an oven. Known to run hot, there are other cooler cases like the fractal meshify 2, lian li mesh, corsair 4000D that run much cooler.

Appreciate the response,

Fractal Meshify 2 was my second choice seems like i'll be going for that.

Why the hotbox that is nzxt h510? Any particular reason or you just like the look of it?

Nvm saw the comments. Meshify is a great choice!
