I'm helping my friend put together a PC build for around $4000, focusing on gaming. He's looking for a setup that includes dual monitors, a mouse, and a motherboard with strong WiFi capabilities. I've shared the parts list and would love some suggestions on what changes might make it better, especially regarding cost efficiency and future-proofing. Thanks in advance!

Is your friend under the impression that spending $4k guarantees the best gaming PC? Sometimes it’s not just about price!
Your link for the PCPartPicker seems off. You might want to try a different one or check if you need to create a permalink. Just a tip: using a table format for the parts list can make it easier to view if you're posting in forums!
I think your build is looking fantastic, especially with the Kryonaut thermal paste! I’ve built a hardcore setup too. Just a suggestion—consider upgrading your power supply to a 1000W Gold; it gives you more room for future upgrades. Also, high-quality cables can help boost performance!
Thanks for the advice! I’m definitely thinking about upping the PSU wattage to be safe.
Quick question, did your friend mean he wants to spend $4,000 or is he talking about 4k resolution gaming? 😂
LOL, it’s definitely $4000!
Definitely recommend increasing the PSU for future upgrades! Overall, you have a solid list here.

His goal is to have a solid top-tier gaming setup. He kind of just used that number as a starting point.
