Help Me Choose the Right Parts for My First Gaming PC Build

Asked By GalacticPenguin42 On

Hey everyone! I'm diving into my first gaming PC build and would love your feedback on the parts I've selected. I've been doing a lot of research and watching videos, but as a total beginner, I want to make sure everything is compatible and optimized.

Here's the scoop: My budget is around 1000-1200 euros ($1150-$1370), but I'd like to keep it lower if possible since I also need a monitor. I'm eyeing a specific part list that totals about 1100 euros on Amazon.

The PC will mainly be used for gaming and some very light screen recording or editing. I just want to be able to run games smoothly at 1080p or 1440p without heavy glitches. I'll be playing titles like Minecraft, Assassin's Creed, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Fortnite.

PCPartPicker estimates the wattage at 374w—would a 650w power supply be enough, or should I consider 750w? I'm not planning any significant upgrades in the near future. Looks don't matter too much since my case will be against a wall, but I do prefer a good airflow setup.

I'd also appreciate any advice on monitor specs for this build! Here's the part list: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/FQ2rgn)

Looks like you’ve put together a solid list for your first build! I suggest checking out my edited part list to save around 50 euros while upgrading to a better CPU, PSU, and SSD. If you have any specific questions about the parts, just let me know!

Thanks for the suggestion! Can you explain what makes the SSD better? They appear to have similar specs but it’s a bit pricier. And why is the 9600X CPU a better option? I'm still getting the hang of the differences like Zen5 vs Zen4.
