Hey folks! I'm considering building a new PC and I'd love some feedback from anyone who's more experienced than me. Here's my build list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h3zb9C. I plan to reuse a couple of SSDs for storage, specifically a SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 2280 and an older Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB. I'm mainly unsure if all the components will fit together well and whether this build will be reliable without breaking the bank. My last setup is from late 2018, so I'm looking for something solid that will last a while!

I took a look, and it seems like a solid build overall! If you're aiming for good performance and value, I recommend considering changes like using a different CPU or cooler. For example, I found an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X that gives you great power for around $299, plus a nice cooler for just under $36. Just make sure to double-check compatibility with your case!
Thanks! Can you talk about the changes you made? Was there stuff I was doing that was actually bad or is this just similar performance for less money?
