Hey everyone! I'm building my first PC and I could really use your feedback on my parts list. I have a budget of around $1000-$1200 for both the PC and monitor. I'm mainly looking to play games like Baldur's Gate, Spider-Man, and The Last of Us. I'm hoping to create a system that will last me a while, so let me know if you see any areas where I might be overspending or underspending. I'd really appreciate any suggestions you have! Here's my current part list: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JFgTyW)

No worries, your parts look good! You're set to have a solid build for gaming.
Good luck with your build! It sounds exciting to put together your first PC!
I love your build but I recommend changing the motherboard. The 'X' version of that Gigabyte board offers better VRM for future CPU upgrades and overclocking. While it may be a bit more expensive now, it’s worth it for future proofing!
The parts you selected are solid! Just a heads up, be aware of some alternate options that could save you cash. Like, you might find this [PCPartPicker link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bD7Yxg) could save you around $81. Definitely worth a look!
Thanks dude!
You can save $10 by getting a B-Tier PSU instead of the A-Tier one you're looking at. Every little bit helps!
Consider upgrading to an 8-core AMD CPU for better performance in future-proofing your build. It could handle intense gaming sessions and multitasking better!
Ahh I see, thanks for that! I'll keep it in mind.
