Hey everyone! I'm putting together my first PC build, and I've managed to come up with a list based on my budget and what's available at the store. I mostly allocated funds towards the GPU and CPU, so I'm hoping to save a bit on other components. However, I'm looking for your advice—are there any parts that absolutely need to be changed? I plan to stick with this build for a long time, so I want to make sure it's solid! Thanks in advance! Here's the build: [pcpartpicker link]. Also, I considered a B850 motherboard but the only one I found is the Gigabyte MB B850 GAMING WF6AM5. Not sure if it's a good option. There's also a pricier X870 available, but I need help deciding if it's worth the extra cost. Lastly, I was thinking of switching to an 850W PSU instead of 750W—what do you think?

Honestly, your build looks solid as is—there's really nothing that needs to change for it to perform well. Just make sure you’re checking compatibility!
If you're going with the B650 board and that processor, just make sure that the motherboard has a BIOS flashback feature. This way, you can update the BIOS without needing the CPU installed, or else it might not boot up at all!
That board has that flashback feature, so you're all set!
Great! Glad that’s not an issue! Thanks for pointing it out!
Do you think 750W is enough to handle everything? I don’t plan to overclock, just maybe underclock some parts.
