Hey everyone! I'm new here and excited to get some advice. A good friend helped me put together my first PC build a while back, and I'm starting to wonder if the parts are still worth the price right now. I want to make sure I'm getting a good deal and not overspending. If you could take a look and let me know your thoughts, I'd be super grateful. Thanks a bunch! Here's the link to my build: [PC Build List](https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/gv7TNz)

First off, what’s your budget? That'll help us figure out if you're going overboard with any components.
You’re definitely spending a bit too much on your CPU, and it seems like the motherboard and RAM are also pricier than they need to be. The CPU shouldn’t cost as much as your GPU, which is a red flag. For RAM, 6400MHz is overkill unless you plan on heavy overclocking; 6000MHz is more than sufficient. Also, consider whether you really want that curved wide monitor. It’s cool, but that’s a personal choice. I recommend looking for a more affordable SSD, especially for gaming—there are options around $180 that perform similarly to your current choice, which is priced at $250. You might find a cheaper case that still has good airflow and cable management. Overall, it seems like there are better options for the money you’re spending!
Thanks for your input! I was worried I might be overspending when my friend showed me this list.
