Hey everyone! I've been primarily a console gamer, but I've decided to dive into the world of PC gaming because consoles have their limitations. After researching, I've put together a build for my first PC, but I'm far from an expert and would really appreciate any feedback on it.
Do you think this setup is solid, or are there any components you think I should change? My main goal is to be able to play just about any modern game without any hiccups.
Also, if you have any recommendations for a good monitor that would go well with this build, that would be awesome. Thanks!

The RAM and NVMe prices are really crazy right now. I feel your pain! If you can hold off, maybe stick with 1TB for now and upgrade later once prices cool off. Plenty of games should run fine with 1TB.
If you have access to a Micro Center, consider getting the 9070 XT instead of the 7900 XT. They often have better bundles. There’s a sweet deal with a 9850X3D, MSI motherboard and 32GB of RAM for around $750!
Definitely, that’s a solid choice if you can find it!
Honestly, I’d go for the 9070 XT. It’s better for performance. Also, getting a 9850 X3D paired with a good board could save you money if you shop around. Just make sure to check your local deals before committing!
Yeah, I think I’ll just do that for now—1TB has always been enough for me.
