I'm assembling my first gaming PC and have put together a parts list that I found online. I'm specifically looking to play EU5 since it just got announced, which I'm really excited about! Here's the link to my parts list on PCPartPicker: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bNV7Nz](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bNV7Nz). I based my choices on the recommended system requirements for the game, but I also want to ensure I can run the latest titles since I have some that are currently unplayable in my Steam library. Here's my current setup:
- **Processor:** Intel® Core™ i7-14700K | AMD® Ryzen™ equivalent
- **Memory:** 32 GB RAM
- **Graphics:** Nvidia® GeForce™ RTX 3060 Ti (8GB) | AMD® Radeon™ RX 6700 XT (12 GB)
I've budgeted about $1492 for this build, but I can stretch it up to $1800 if needed.

I don’t think that build is optimal. You might want to check out this alternative parts list instead: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BJrVv4. It has better components that could definitely enhance your gaming experience.
Why should I change everything? I was considering a better graphics card, but friends told me my current build is fine apart from that.
