Hey everyone! I just finished building my first PC in a while and would love to get your thoughts. I'm looking for any recommendations or upgrades you might suggest. My budget is between 4100-4200 CAD. Here's the link to my build: [PCPartPicker List](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/jnrKmC)

It looks good, but just a heads-up: you don't really need a 1000W power supply for most setups unless you plan on future upgrades. A solid 850W will usually suffice. Just make sure whatever you choose is reliable. If you're looking for options, check out these suggestions: [Power Supplies](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/FVXV3C/super-flower-leadex-vii-platinum-pro-1000-w-80-platinum-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-sf-1000f14xp).
Your build looks pretty solid! I noticed you're going with some upper-tier components but might be overdoing it a bit. For example, consider swapping your AIO cooler for a more cost-effective air cooler, and maybe a cheaper motherboard and RAM with similar specs. This could save you around 100 CAD without sacrificing much performance. Check my list out for some alternatives: [PCPartPicker List](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/6bYsNz). The total comes to about 3446.15 CAD!
Good call on the cooler and mobo! The AIO is nice, but sometimes a good air cooler does the job too.
