I'm gearing up to build my first PC after years of gaming on consoles. I've put together a parts list online, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on whether it's a solid setup for playing games like Warzone and other Call of Duty titles. Here's the link to my build: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/gF9xnp. I'm not very experienced with this, so any tips or suggestions for improvements would be greatly appreciated!

The 7800X3D is probably more than you need for the 9060 XT. If you want to save some cash, I'd suggest a 9600X and maybe a less expensive B650 motherboard. Plus, it's a low TDP CPU so a simpler air cooler would work well!
You might want to reconsider your GPU budget. For a $2100 build, it feels like you should be investing a bit more there. Think about going for a 9070 XT paired with a 7500F to really boost your performance without breaking the bank. And honestly, a cheaper PCIe 4 SSD would work just fine for gaming—no need to overspend for minimal gains!
I think your build looks pretty solid for a first-timer! Just a heads-up though, the price of components is pretty inflated right now, so keep that in mind. It's great to see you diving into PC gaming after all those years on console!
Yeah, it definitely is a rough time to build a PC right now. But don't let the prices discourage you!
Good call! I didn't realize the SSD would be a bit overkill. Thanks for the tip!
