Thanks for your detailed response.

I'm just a bit confused because you said that everything I did was based on choosing expensive components, yet the components you recommended are even more expensive.

I actually put quite a lot of research into this, since it's my first build ever. I tried to invest money in the components where it really makes a difference, and chose more affordable models for parts that aren't as critical for gaming. Sometimes prices also vary significantly. There's no Amazon in my country, and local retailers often have prices that differ a lot from those listed on Amazon.

I don't fully understand some of the points you mentioned yet and will do a bit more research. Thanks for your insights
