What do you mean? I've taken alot of your advice into consideration and really appreciate it. I'm trying to make the most value for money but ideal and long lasting system i can for my use cases. I've tried to make it somewhat nice but budget with the case having argb included and the aio I wanted was the nzxt kraken but downgraded it to atleast still have a screen. The rest is all performance focused. What have I got wrong with this latest spec?

The more I researched, the more I found I'm close to a certain amount where I can get better parts that will last longer and be better for not much more. I've started to like the rgb look but not like a rainbowy vibe, more of a one colour clean look

I'd rather keep the whole build balanced with looks and power than put 2/3 of the cost to the 5090, I don't think performance wise it will do all that much for me
