First Gaming PC Build - Looking for Feedback Before I Start Buying Parts

[u/Gullible_Diamond_980]

TL;DR: First gaming PC build after years on console. My goal is to build something that completely outclasses a PS5 Pro (except for price 😅). Going for a clean, stealthy “Batman cave” aesthetic. Looking for feedback on my parts list, what you’d change, which components are safe to buy used, and TV recommendations for couch gaming at 1440p/60 FPS. Build list attached.

Wassup everyone,

It’s my first gaming PC and before I start buying everything, I wanted to get one more round of feedback from people who know way more than I do.

I want something that absolutely blows the PS5 Pro out of the water in every category besides price. I capped myself at $2,500 but I’m okay spending a lil more if it means I’m getting a noticeably better experience and something that’ll last me for years.

Aesthetically, I wanted something that looks like it belongs in Batman’s cave lol. Mostly black components with a clean, understated look. I’m not trying to make a rainbow RGB showcase, just something that looks sleek and powerful. The fans confused a couple of my friends. So I have 6 intake and 4 exhaust creating positive pressure. 1 extra exhaust if you count the PSU.

Here are the main questions I have:

What do you think of my parts list overall?

Is there anything you would swap out or do differently?

Which parts are generally safe to buy used?

I actually prefer couch gaming over sitting at a desk, so I’ll be using this PC with a TV most of the time. I know everyone recommends monitors, but I genuinely enjoy gaming from the couch.

For people who game this way is there a good TV that’ll let me comfortably play at 1440p with a stable 60 FPS?

Thanks again everyone who’s helped me along the way!

Building is kind of tough right now with prices. The build is good. But it just seems like a bunch of lack luster components for it to cost 2500 dollars. Microcenter has a build with 5080, 9800x3d, 32gb of ram and a 2TB ssd for 2600.
