I've just finished selecting parts for my first PC build and I want to make sure everything is compatible. Here's what I've got:
- **Graphics Card**: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 8Gb Windforce OC ($310)
- **CPU**: Intel Core i5 13400F ($106)
- **CPU Cooler**: iD Cooling SE-224-XTS ARGB ($22)
- **Motherboard**: MSi Pro B760-P ($111)
- **Memory**: Netac Shadow II DDR4 (2x16Gb) ($50)
- **Case**: ZALMAN Z10 Black ($77)
- **Storage**: 1TB ADATA Legend 900 ($69)
- **Power Supply**: 650W Chieftec (BDF650C) ($80)
The total cost comes to around $870. I've verified that all parts should fit technically, but as a first-time builder, I'm looking for some expert opinions to confirm compatibility, especially since I'll be using this for gaming, streaming, and light video editing on a budget of around $800 to $850.

Where are you located? I could suggest a better build that costs just a little bit more. It has superior components that might suit your needs better.
You could use PCPartPicker to check your build. It provides great compatibility feedback. That’s a solid start!
I did check there, but I just want to be extra sure before I dive in!
This build looks okay, but for gaming, your GPU might limit performance a bit. Are you on a strict budget? You could consider switching to an AM5 platform with DDR5 for better future-proofing.
Yes, it’s primarily for gaming and streaming, plus some light video editing. I’ve been at this for hours and just want to make sure I make a good choice.
I'm not in the US, and the GPU alone costs about $428 here!
