Hey everyone! I'm taking the leap to build my own PC after using a laptop for ages, and I could really use some guidance. I've gotten a bit of advice and have put together a list of parts I'm considering buying, which you can check out here: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zcCMph](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zcCMph). I'm also open to picking up used components since the market is a bit crazy right now. **I'd appreciate any suggestions, tips, or corrections you might have. If there's a good guide out there for first-time builders, that would be awesome too!**

Looks solid! If you're looking for a better CPU, I'd suggest checking out options like the 9600x or 7600x if their prices drop a bit. They could give you a nice performance boost for your build.
Before you dive in, what's your budget and what games are you interested in? Also, are you aiming for 1080p, 1440p, or 4k gaming? Depending on that, I can suggest some alternatives. If you’re considering all-purpose use, let me know!
I think if you have around $1000-1400, you could grab some great parts that include a better CPU and GPU with 16GB VRAM. It might be worth the extra $100 for the performance upgrade!
Gotcha! Thanks for the feedback. I’m looking to stick within that price range.
Alright, thanks for the tip! I'll definitely keep that in mind.
