Can you please review this build - it’s for day trading (main purpose) and photography hobby (Lightroom and Photoshop).

All advice and insults welcome! I’d prefer to learn than not! ;)

Is there anything that I’ve picked that will make it underperform? E.g. average motherboard or low ram. Or some tweaks to make it better.

This is my first build - excited but wary! Thanks from a lady builder in Australia

I see no issues whatsoever. The parts are compatible and will run Lightroom and Photoshop workloads easily. Trading too is an easy workload for this build. I'd say go for it! :)
