Someone save me from myself please

That Fifine microphone and interface aren't compatible, it's a USB-only mic with an XLR interface. If you want the interface for easy access to the volume sliders then you need a Fifine AM8 or K688 if you want to stick to the same brand.

Gutted PC

IMO there's no need for a low-profile cooler like the AXP90-X53. A Thermalright Assassin X 90 SE is cheaper and will fit inside that casing .An AMD Wraith Prism (the one with the heatpipes) is another option, but only if you can get one for cheap. Don't get a WD Green SSD as a boot drive. Those are

Is this legit?

People don't understand that read/write speeds mean nothing. So they will say it's slow just because it doesn't reach the 7000+ Read/Write.

Consigli su una build per giocare a 1080/1440

The EQ790 uses QLC flash, which has low durability and becomes noticeably slower after a few years. Get a better drive with TLC flash like the Biwin Black Opal NV7400 or WD Blue SN5000.

First build opinions

The NV3 often uses QLC flash, which has low durability and becomes noticeably slower after a few years; it should not be used for the OS. Get a better drive with TLC flash like the Lexar NM620 256 GB/512 GB or WD Blue SN5000.
