I'm building my first PC and would love some feedback on the components I've chosen. I want to make sure everything is compatible and if there's anything that offers better performance at a lower price.

Overall, that's a solid list! Just a heads-up, you might not need both the NVMe and SATA SSD unless you have specific usage in mind. The SATA drive seems a bit redundant since you've got the faster NVMe for your OS and games. Also, consider if you really need that much storage. If you're just gaming or doing some basic tasks, a larger NVMe might be more beneficial than having separate drives.
