Hey everyone! I'm about to build my first PC and I could really use some advice. I've never owned a PC before, but I think now's the right time to jump in. My budget is around $2500-$3000. I enlisted the help of ChatGPT to help me pick out parts, but since I really don't know much about building PCs, I'd love to get feedback from people who are more experienced. Here's what I've got:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- **GPU**: ASUS RTX 4070 Ti Super
- **Motherboard**: MSI B650 Tomahawk WiFi
- **RAM**: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
- **Storage**: WD_BLACK SN850X 1TB NVMe Gen4 SSD
- **CPU Cooler**: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
- **Case**: Corsair 4000D Airflow
- **Power Supply**: Corsair RM750x 750W 80+ Gold (Fully Modular)
- **Monitor**: Alienware AW2523HF – 24.5" 1080p 360Hz IPS
- **OS**: Windows 11 Home (OEM)
- **Case Fans**: ARCTIC P12 PWM 120mm x2
I prioritize FPS and gaming performance over aesthetics and storage, so if you see anything I should upgrade or change, I'd greatly appreciate your input!

You should definitely use PCPartPicker for your build! It makes it easier to compare prices and ensure all the parts are compatible. From what I see at a glance, your build seems a bit unbalanced for the budget. I'd suggest looking at some alternatives to make sure your money is well-spent. Once you have everything listed there, it’ll be easier for others to give specific feedback.
Just found out about PCPartPicker! I'm working on putting my parts there right now and I’ve made a few changes based on your suggestion.
