Hey everyone! I'm diving into building my first PC and would love to hear your thoughts. I've put together a build primarily for light to medium gaming and some video editing, especially since I'm stepping away from Xbox due to some dissatisfaction with Game Pass. I've already ordered the parts, and the first package is set to arrive tomorrow. I was doing a bit more research but got a bit anxious when RAM prices shot up, so I decided to go ahead with my purchase. Fingers crossed I don't have any buyer's remorse after sharing this! Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Nice choice on parts! It's exciting to build your own rig. As for RAM, prices fluctuate all the time, so you acted at a suitable moment. No need to worry much about buyers remorse; just test everything once it arrives and adjust as needed! Everyone's first build is a learning experience.
Looks like a solid build! Just a heads up about your storage; the Spatium M461 you chose uses QLC flash. This type can be less durable and may slow down after a few years. You might want to consider alternatives like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or the WD Blue SN5000, which use TLC flash and generally perform better.
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm really looking forward to piecing it all together.
