I'm about to dive into my first-ever PC build and have chosen the following parts. I want to make sure everything is compatible before I start putting it together:
- **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)
Total cost is around $870. I've checked that theoretically, all the parts should fit together but as a first-time builder, I'd really appreciate some confirmation from those experienced with PC builds, especially for gaming, streaming, and light video editing. My budget was around $800-$850!

Are you in the US? If not, I found a build that’s a bit more powerful for just slightly over your budget. It features a better CPU and a good GPU that could handle gaming and streaming much better. If you'd like, I can share the specific parts!
Looks okay for gaming at lower settings, but your GPU may hold you back for graphics-intensive tasks. Given your budget and needs, I’d say consider looking at AM5 builds with DDR5 to future-proof your PC. Just a thought!
You should definitely check your build on PCPartPicker. It’ll give you all the compatibility info you need, and from what I can see, your parts should work together! Just make sure the power supply is enough for your GPU, but you’ve got a solid setup overall.
