I'm planning to build my very first PC and would love some advice from the community! Here are the parts I have put together so far: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HCM94p). I want this PC to handle high-resolution gaming (think Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA) and also support my work in coding. My budget is around $4000, but I can stretch it to about $4200-$4300 if needed. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

I took a look at your build and managed to save you about $900! I swapped in a better gaming CPU that also works well for coding, plus a faster GPU. Check out my suggested build here: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yRkFRV).
Another optimized version with a similar look is available here: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dXRQmC). Hope this gives you some great ideas!
I'm really curious about why you picked the GTX 1060. Have you considered other options?
You might want to reconsider the GTX 1060. Considering your budget, it might be better to go with a more powerful option like the RTX 5080. This way, you can get better performance in both gaming and coding tasks!
Yeah, with that budget, the 5080 is definitely a better fit for your needs!
Nice! Optimizing builds is so helpful, especially when you're working with a budget!
