Hi! Building a gaming PC for a friend, looking to spend about 1300$ USD. Will need to include a monitor as well. He’s looking to play some AAA and some esports games, was trying to get a 1440 setup with ability to upgrade in the future. Would you make any changes to what I’ve put together?

Yeah, for me 16 GB was fine, but it only costs like $20 to go from 16 to 32 so there's no reason not to, and it's nice not having to worry about it. I use a browser addon that reduces my Firefox memory usage to like 2 GB max though, without that it can balloon to like 5 GB which would be too much for gaming with 16 GB.
