I'm building my first gaming PC and would love some feedback on my parts list. I've included a link to it here: [PC Parts List](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/sdb2Qd). The case I'm using is just a placeholder, and I'm open to suggestions for upgrades!

All your selected parts should be compatible, but I recommend investing a bit more in a better case. The Gamedias cases are generally reported to be poorly made and can cause overheating issues.
What will you mainly be using the PC for—gaming or productivity? If it’s mostly for gaming, there are cheaper SSD options you might want to consider as well.
Everything looks solid, but if you're gaming, consider upgrading to a 7800x3d. I found them for about £235-£250 on AliExpress.
The 9700x isn't the best choice. For a similar price, you can get the 265k, which offers better performance with more cores and larger caches. Check out the comparison [here](https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/6326vs6205/Intel-Core-Ultra-7-265K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-9700X).
