Hey everyone, I'm putting together my first PC and I'd really appreciate your feedback on my build list. I'm also hoping to trim down the costs a bit if possible. Here's the link to my parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PFX8qH

Your build looks solid to me! Not sure if I'm the best judge, but everything seems to fit together well.
Overall, not bad! I suggest ditching the Windows key. You can actually grab Windows for free using an 8GB USB drive; just download it straight from Microsoft. After you install it, you might see a watermark saying 'activate Windows,' but it won’t affect your performance. Use the cash you save on that key to upgrade your storage or motherboard! By the way, for the PSU, I recommend the MSI MAG A750GL or A850—they're gold certified and will help future-proof your system for upgrades down the road.
That sounds solid! But can you explain what improvements I should look for in storage or motherboards?
