Hey everyone! I'm putting together my first PC and I want to make sure all the parts I picked are compatible. Here's the list of components I selected:
- **GPU**: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 8GB Windforce OC ($310)
- **CPU**: Intel Core i5 13400F ($106)
- **Cooler**: iD Cooling SE-224-XTS ARGB ($22)
- **Motherboard**: MSi Pro B760-P ($111)
- **RAM**: Netac Shadow II DDR4 (2x16GB) ($50)
- **Case**: ZALMAN Z10 Black ($77)
- **Storage**: 1TB ADATA Legend 900 ($69)
- **PSU**: 650W Chieftec (BDF650C) ($80)
The total cost is about $870. I've checked the compatibility and everything looks good, but as a newbie, I'd love to hear from more experienced builders! This setup is for gaming, streaming, and light video editing, with a budget around $800 to $850. Thanks!

I see you’re going for gaming. Your GPU might be a bit on the weaker side for what you're aiming for. You could look into an AM5 build with DDR5, and possibly stay under $900 for a more robust setup.
Are you based in the US? If so, I can suggest a slightly better build for a bit more cash! Check out this list I made for you.
I actually live outside the US. Just the GPU alone is around $428 here!
You can check your build on PCPartPicker, it'll help ensure everything is compatible. Just enter your components and see if there are any issues.
I did check on PCPartPicker; everything is marked green! But I’m just being super cautious since it’s my first time.
Thanks for the heads up! I forgot to mention, I need it mainly for gaming and streaming, plus some light video editing. It’s been a real challenge figuring this all out!
