New TN panels have gotten way better than they used to be, I wouldn't worry too much. The only feature I'd conciser a game changer is HDR that's a completely different price range lol

I actually had a nice TN and a nice IPS monitor on my desk at the same time for a while and like, I could barely tell the difference lol

Blugh, my ideal monitor is <27 inches, 1440p (or 1080p at most), IPS or similar tech, 144Hz with reasonable refresh rate.

I reaaally wanna avoid TN but it seems that's my only choice for this kinda panel...

I'm doing ML so I'm justifying the beefy GPU that way ;) Buuuut I've gotten this critique twice, so i think i ought just to get a better monitor. Plus I'll be typing on that a lot

I do ATX because I like having the extra space and airflow, gets things quieter and cooler and helps your parts last longer. You don't really need all that space on the board, maybe go mATX motherboard and ATX case? That's something I'm thinking about doing. I do love your ATX case, I have a similar one from Nanoxia.

A CPU cooler is a nice investment you can use for builds going forward, and will generally be quieter and cooler than whatever you get in the box. I've been eyeing a Noctua NH-D15. You would know better than I would if you want that, I'm planning on overclocking in the future.

I was kinda surprised that you chose a 2060 for a 1080p60 monitor, like I was sure there were cheaper cards for 1080p60, but no you don't really save that much on a 1660. Maybe a RX 580? Or wait them to announce the 1650? Graphics cards are wild.

I'm happy with my 970 and I'm waiting on a replacement but I'm not really sure what I'm waiting for.

Anyway I hope this helped, I should clarify that I'm not an expert lol.

Also I see you're going tenkeyless which is the way to be yehaw

FEAR isn't really a horror game, it's an action game that's really good at giving you cool feeling guns and convincing you of your physical body in space. Like there's cool kicks and stuff and the controls are amazing.

The horror is mostly just theming, like they break up the bad guy shooting with a spooky part. It works pretty well even if it isn't much more than just some jump scares.

But yea you should play SOMA if you want a horror game it's so good.

If you don't mind a bit of a left field suggestion, The Secret of the Monkey Island has a remastered version that looks cool, has a good soundtrack and I for one enjoyed the game play - it's possibly the single best introduction to the genre. It is very light fare, story wise, and has a genuinely sweet, funny vibe to it. The game design is, I think, quite good, but I won't gush about it now.

the original F.E.A.R. was really good and not too long. don't even bother with any of the sequels though they took the story in a gross and awful direction and the gameplay wasn't as good either, even though the graphics were shinier
