Hey everyone! I've been wanting to build my own PC for a while, and I finally have some funds saved up to do it. I've done a bit of research since I'm pretty new to this, but I'm worried that I might have overlooked something important. Here's my current part list: [Link to Part List]. Can anyone provide feedback on what I might have missed or suggest improvements within the same budget? Also, apart from a screwdriver and thermal paste, is there anything else I should make sure to have? Thanks in advance for your help!

I noticed you chose that CPU, but have you considered going for a Ryzen 5 9600X instead? It would pair well with a B650 or B850 motherboard. Also, if your budget allows, aim for 6000 MHz RAM for better performance!
I recommend checking out this guide for a solid gaming build: [Link to Guide]. You could also consider downgrading to CL34-36 RAM to save some cash without sacrificing too much performance. This setup would be a great foundation and easily upgradeable in the future!
Thanks for the tip! I saw that the guide suggests using an RTX 5060 Ti, but do you think I should compromise and go with the 5060 instead to save on other components?

Do you think the Ryzen 7 7700X would be a suitable option as well, or is it overkill for my needs? I'm looking for something I can upgrade later. Here's an updated version of my list: [Link to Modified Part List].
