Hey everyone! I'm excited to build my first PC and have already purchased the CPU. Here's what I've got so far:
* **CPU:** Ryzen 5 8600G (already bought)
* **Motherboard:** ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A WiFi
* **PSU:** Corsair RM750e (not sure if 750W is more than I need)
* **Storage:** Samsung 990 Evo Plus 1TB SSD
* **RAM:** Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 (supports AMD EXPO / Intel XMP)
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this build. My main worries are whether the RAM will be compatible with my motherboard and CPU.
Also, is the PSU wattage overkill, or will it be fine for future upgrades? I'm planning to add a dedicated GPU later, probably an RTX 4060. Any advice would be really helpful!

Honestly, you're spending quite a bit on the motherboard and SSD. Consider opting for a cheaper B650 and a more budget-friendly SSD. Unless there’s a big sale, save your cash to invest in a better GPU later. A 750W PSU is definitely more than you need for now, especially if you’re just starting with the iGPU. Also, DDR5 6000 CL30 RAM will give you better performance, so keep an eye out for that.
What would be some alternative motherboards that offer good aesthetics and performance? I was originally thinking about a TUF Gaming B650, but the ROG Strix was the same price at $169.
And about the SSD, it's priced at around $66 in my country—think that's a fair deal?
