I'm gearing up to build my first PC and would love your thoughts on the components I've selected. The build is primarily for productivity, including video editing, and I'm looking for something that can handle everything I might throw at it for the next few years. Here's the link to my build: [PC Part Picker Link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZzDmJn).

If you're focusing on productivity, especially with video editing, Intel usually has the edge due to their high core counts. You might want to compare the Core Ultra lineup to the Ryzen 9800X3D for your editing needs. The Ryzen often doesn't outperform the 9700X or 7700X in workloads where the extra cache isn't beneficial, so it's worth doing some research.
What's the primary purpose of your build? It looks like it might not be the best for gaming, considering the budget. If you're looking for something that excels in gaming, I suggest looking into a build like this one for around $1920, which is significantly faster in gaming scenarios.
Just a heads up on the cooler and the GPU—make sure they're compatible with your build! Also, the retail version of Windows usually ends up being a better deal in the long run, despite mixed opinions.
I appreciate the heads up! Compatibility is key, and I'll look into the Windows options.
Thanks for the insight! I'll definitely check out the comparison.
