Hey everyone! I'm currently in the process of picking parts for my very first PC, and I'd love some feedback. Here's my current list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6LNhwY. I'm particularly concerned about whether any of my choices are over the top and if there's a way to trim my budget to around $2,000 without sacrificing performance. Any additional input or advice would be greatly appreciated as I aim to build the best gaming PC for my budget!
