I've put together a PC build for a friend and I want to make sure everything is reliable before sending it over. Here's the link to the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VDjnFZ. The only components I can't change at this point are the GPU and CPU since they already have those. The setup is mainly intended for gaming and streaming, with a budget of around $1,200. I'm looking for something that will last a while without needing significant upgrades, and I'm open to spending a bit more if it means getting better quality parts.

What’s their actual budget and the primary use case? If you can't change the CPU, but it’s still within the return period, I would suggest considering upgrading it to a 9800x3d instead since it's better for gaming. Just something to think about!
It would help to know more about what the build is specifically for, as well as the budget and any particular needs. If they’re focused on value, there are definitely ways to trim costs—like opting for a less expensive cooler, motherboard, or SSD—and still end up with a great gaming PC.
That’s a great point! I should’ve included that info. Thanks for the heads up!
It’s mainly for gaming and streaming. Unfortunately, I don’t think they can swap it out anymore. The budget is $1.2k but I can stretch a bit if necessary.
