Current PC is too bad for Cities Skylines 2. Can anyone judge the PCPartPicker list I've put together? (beehaw.org)

This is based off the "Great tier" AMD build, but I'm waffling a bit on the price. I don't really know a whole lot about PC specs, but I read this is supposed to be a good long-lasting build based on the DDR5 and something newer in the CPU or Video card. That being said, I've only really ever build mid-tier and while I do want something nice, I'm just not sure it's necessary for me? I tend to stick to Indie titles and the most demanding game I've played lately was BG3 (which my current PC has to be on med-low settings to run).

Also, if anyone has a good 22" monitor recommendations I'll take them.

I pretty much exclusively buy psu from seasonic or EVGA rated platinum or higher. 1000W and fully modular. These things last me at least 10 years and are as future proof as you can get. If you calculate price per year of use over its lifetime, it's even the more affordable option.

Yup, Seasonic and EVGA for me too. Expensive, but worth it.
