Hey everyone! I'm about to build my first PC and I want to make sure all my parts are compatible. Here's what I have selected so far:
- **GPU:** Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 8Gb Windforce OC ($310)
- **CPU:** Intel Core i5 13400F ($106)
- **Cooler:** iD Cooling SE-224-XTS ARGB ($22)
- **Motherboard:** MSI Pro B760-P ($111)
- **RAM:** Netac Shadow II DDR4 (2x16Gb) ($50)
- **Case:** ZALMAN Z10 Black ($77)
- **Storage:** 1TB ADATA Legend 900 ($69)
- **PSU:** 650W Chieftec (BDF650C) ($80)
The total comes to around $870. I've checked online and everything seems to fit, but as a first-timer, I'd love to hear from the pros if all these components will work well together. I'm aiming for gaming, streaming, and some light video editing on a budget of about $800-$850. Thanks!

Are you located in the US? If so, I can suggest some tweaks that might give you better performance for a small increase in budget. Your current setup seems decent but could be optimized a bit more without breaking the bank.
You should definitely check out PCPartPicker for your build! It’ll confirm compatibility and highlight any potential issues. Just enter your parts, and it’ll give you an overview, plus some alternative suggestions.
Yeah, I did that! It all seems green, but I wanted to double-check with you guys for peace of mind.
For gaming and streaming, your GPU might be on the weaker side. It’s a solid build, but if you’re looking for better future-proofing, consider an AM5 setup with DDR5 and a B580 motherboard—it might cost a little over $900 but could be worth it.
Oops, I forgot to mention that it’s primarily for gaming, streaming, and light video editing. I’m kind of lost when it comes to PC parts; I’ve spent hours learning and just thought this was a good value.
I’m actually not from the US, and that GPU alone is a bit pricier for me, around $428.
