I'm putting together my first PC build aimed at high-quality gaming, especially since component prices seem to just keep going up. I've set up a build on PCPartPicker, but I'm still pretty new to this whole process and would love some feedback! I want to be smart with my budget, as I've saved up a good amount, but I don't want to overspend on parts if I can find cheaper ones that work just as well. Thanks a lot for any advice! Here's my build link: [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kJGXC8)
