Hey everyone! I'm putting together a new PC and need some feedback on my parts list. Since this is my first time building one, I really hope I'm getting good components that won't have compatibility issues. I have a bit of a budget but I want to make sure everything fits well together. Here's the list I'm considering: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GVRXt3](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GVRXt3). Any tips or verification of the specs would be super helpful! Thanks in advance!

Check out AMD cards—they often give you more bang for your buck compared to NVIDIA, but be aware that both are pretty much scalped these days. It's worth looking into!
I made some changes to your list!
- Swapped the cooler for a Peerless Assassin, it's cheaper and more effective than a 240 AIO.
- Changed the RAM for a 6000MT CL30 kit, no RGB but definitely better.
- Used a B650 motherboard instead of the overpriced X870.
- Upgraded the GPU to a 5060 Ti 16GB, but if that pushes your budget, consider the RX 9060 XT 16GB. You might want to drop the 1TB drive for this adjustment.
The 7800X3D is a solid CPU choice! Just make sure your GPU can keep up; I’d go for something like the 5070 Ti. Trust me, I have a 4070 Ti with a 5800X3D, and my CPU still outperforms the GPU! If possible, try to get a better graphics card for a balanced build.
A couple of things:
- You might want to reconsider your RAM; 6000MHz CL30-36 is better and not that much more expensive.
- The 7800X3D is great for gaming, but with a budget GPU, it might not be worth it. Something like the 9600X paired with a stronger GPU could work out better for you! Also, what’s your budget and the main purpose of the PC?
Honestly, your build seems really out of sync. I can totally help you create a better parts list. Here's what I would suggest tweaking: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WQQ2MC](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WQQ2MC). Check it out!
Right? Sometimes you can get lucky with a decent deal.
