I'm in the process of building a gaming PC for under $700. I've been experimenting with components on PCPartPicker and ended up with a build that I'm considering. I'm looking for feedback on my selections and if there's anything that I should swap out for something better. Here's the link to my current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vKrwZc. Any suggestions?

If you're open to AMD, I found a guide for an entry-level build that could fit your budget: https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/qtFfrH/entry-level-amd-gaming-build. Just a heads-up, some of the components might be a little outdated, so make sure to check if you can upgrade the SSD and RAM without exceeding your budget.
Hey! I checked out your build, and I think you could get better performance for about the same price. I recommend this build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8Rcy74. It includes an Intel Core i5-12400F, which is a solid choice for gaming, and 32GB of RAM, which will future-proof your setup. Plus, you'll get a good SSD and a decent GPU that should handle most games nicely. Total cost is around $718, but it's worth it for the performance boost!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely look into upgrading the SSD and RAM. Appreciate it!
