Hey everyone! I'm diving into PC building for the first time and I've picked out a few parts for my build. Before I go ahead and purchase everything, I could really use some advice or recommendations. You can check out the build here: [PCPartPicker Build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mMNF6Q).
I'm also planning to eventually upgrade my 1080p monitor to something like a 4K or 1440p, so any suggestions on that front would be super helpful too. My budget for the PC is around $1500 and for the monitor, I'm looking at spending between $200 and $300.

Your build is great, but I recommend swapping out for 6000 CL30 RAM instead of CL36; it’ll give you better performance. As for monitors, a Mini-LED is a good choice if you want quality HDR. Check this one out: [AOC Q27G3XMN](https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/aoc/q27g3xmn).
Overall, your build looks solid! Just a heads up, using it with a 4K monitor might not deliver the best performance, depending on the games you play. If you’re aiming for high settings, you might want to stick to 1080p or 1440p for smoother gameplay.
Just be aware that the CL30 RAM will cost about $20-$40 more, which could push your budget a bit.
