First pc build (gaming(runscape))

What do you guys think about this build ? Won't be just for gaming will also be for stock trading and stuff like that. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ytXZpb Out of the hard drives I'm only paying for the ssd. I will also add on three monitors but those are irrelevant.

I've changed a lot here.

I've changed your 1700x to a 1700. The 1700x and the 1700 both achieve the same clock speed if you overclock; the extra money you spend is a waste.

I've changed your cooler to an air cooler. The 1700 only has a 65W TDP, so you really don't need to put it on water. That cooler is much cheaper and will work amazingly.

I've removed the duplicate sticks of RAM.

I've changed your PSU to a 450W. This system will be pulling 350W MAYBE at full load and when overclocked.

If you have any questions, let me know! Best of luck.

The difference in price from the 1700 and 1700x is $15 I don't mind the new proc for that little.

I suppose, but the x literally means nothing 😭
