I plugged your build into PCPartPicker and changed a couple of things. The extra $20 for DDR5 is worth it and so is the extra for the 980 Pro SSD for the boot drive. You might be able to some a few bucks by getting an 850W power supply but that might hinder a future upgrade if you think you might go that direction.

I'd gladly help you build them so you could save $75x2. Or possibly do it yourself? MemEx will mount the CPU and RAM to test it for free and that's the hardest part.

Hopefully MemEx will price match the lower prices.

There are cheaper ways to get Windows that are a little shady but will still get you a legit OS.
