Hey everyone! I'm about to dive into building my first PC and could really use some input on the parts I've chosen. You can check them out here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DbHWwY. I'm familiar with the basics but not fully confident in my selections. I'd love any feedback you can provide, and if you think there are better alternatives to my current choices, let me know! Thanks in advance!

From what I'm seeing, your build looks pretty decent for a mid-range PC, but I'd suggest considering the AM5 platform if your budget allows. A friend of mine had great results with that. Also, make sure to check in with some Discord communities; they can give awesome real-time advice!
What’s your budget? Everything seems okay for light to medium gaming, but if you're really pushing for performance, consider upgrading your graphics card to at least a 3070 or a 40 series if you're willing to spend a bit more. And don’t skimp on the CPU cooler—if you're not going for liquid cooling, find a solid air cooler. Also, 1TB NVMe might fill up quickly; maybe think about adding another NVMe or a standard SSD for extra storage!
Thanks a lot! I’m totally new to this, so I appreciate the input! My budget is around $1200, but I could stretch it to $1500. I’ll definitely look into a better graphics card and a good cooler—any recommendations for a solid CPU cooling fan?
Will do! Thanks for the tip! ^^
