You can get an 8tb HDD for cheaper than that sometimes, or for a little more 2 4gbs and set them up to mirror.

Win10 is alright but some games still work better on win7, I'd throw in a 500gb hdd to dual boot it from

Otherwise probably futureproof. What mouse, keyboard gamepads etc you thinking of?

keyboard is clicky so go with a different one in a bedroom or if you share an office

My Logitech G700 has held up for years now, and I drop it onto the floor weekly. Has 4 side buttons and 3 next to the LMB, fully customizable, use all of them constantly.

As far as keyboards it depends on what you want - if you need lots of hotkeys steelseries has a few good mechanical ones (but I'm using a razer black widow I got as a gift years ago and it works fine for my purposes). Just research what kind of switch you want (quiet, springy, low resistance etc). If you can, get one with a PS2 connector (the old green and purple one), it can register all keys pressed at once. USB only allows like 5.

For a $3k setup, I would double your RAM and upgrade to at least a platinum power supply. 500gb SSD can also fill up fast with modern 80-120GB releases, but if you don’t keep a large library installed it’s not an issue.

32g of ram? And games usually go on the HDD, that's why it's best to go big and just mirror it

Yes on the power supply though, anything but a very fucking good one can ruin your audio

RAM is relatively cheap and rising in price. 16GB has been the standard for high end gaming for well over a year. A system like this will last a while so may as well futureproof RAM now.

Putting games on a HDD is a terrible idea. The entire point of an SSD is fast load times.

After windows because sps after 7, all I've built are hackintoshes. They are just as reliable as real macs and simple to get running. Just follow the guides on tonymacx86.
