Hey everyone! I'm building my first PC and I've selected the following parts. Could you help me check if everything is compatible? Here are the components I've chosen:
- **GPU**: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 8GB Windforce OC ($310)
- **CPU**: Intel Core i5 13400F ($106)
- **CPU 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)
- **Power Supply**: 650W Chieftec (BDF650C) ($80)
The total comes to about $870. I think all the parts should fit, but as a first-time builder, I'd love to hear from the experts if everything looks good for gaming, streaming, and some light video editing. My budget is around $800-850!

Are you based in the US? If so, I can suggest a slightly better build for just a bit more cash. You could upgrade the CPU, cooler, and GPU for enhanced performance.
You might want to check out PCPartPicker to see if everything fits together. It gives you a full compatibility check and it's super user-friendly!
I did try that, but even though everything is marked green, I'm just looking to be extra sure.
What’s your main intention with the PC? It looks like you might be a bit underwhelmed with that GPU for your needs. You could consider going for an AM5 setup with DDR5 for future-proofing, which might cost you a bit more but could be worth it in the long run.
Yeah, it's mainly for gaming, streaming, and some light video editing. I’m still learning about all this stuff.
I'm not in the US, and just the GPU in your suggestion is already around $428!
