Humble Bundle is actually running a pretty good promotion on Python courses/materials.

I haven’t opened them yet but there are like 45 items in that bundle. I had decided to learn a new language myself and this made the choice for me.

Gotcha, thank you for additional context.

What I read, DLSS 3.0 is like magic and running 1440p games, you’d possibly benefit from it if you stick to Nvidia. I don’t know how much $40 means to your budget but I would invest in that solely because of that. THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH AMD GPUs, buy it’s something I’d consider.

If I was building today, I’d certainly go DDR5 as you are.

I can’t comment on stock cooler as I also value quiet operations because it’s annoying when I’m gaming next to a jet engine, so even though the cooler might be overkill, I want them quiet. I haven’t tested stock cooler but a nice Noctua was in my budget.

Same with my case, Be Quiet! 500DX but again, because I want as silent as possible while gaming.

Build looks fine but what made you choose that case, Mobo, GPU and SSD?

Also, what resolution and type of gaming do you do?
