Hey everyone! I'm diving into building my first PC and I've tried to keep my budget in check, but I may have overspent a bit. Since I want to make sure I'm making the right choices, I thought it would be smart to get some advice from the community. Check out my build here: [PCPartPicker Link](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/leofinnr/saved/#view=DwtF4D) and let me know what you think! Open to any tips or recommendations!

Consider switching to an AM5 chipset. Don't overspend on a cooler; something basic will work fine for the Ryzen 5600X since it's not power-hungry. You might also want to look for a cheaper NVMe SSD. A good strategy is to search for the best budget options for each component to educate yourself better.
I wouldn't recommend getting into AM4 now since it's nearing its end of life. If you do go that route, skip the AIO cooler; a basic air cooler is sufficient for your CPU's low thermal output.
Thanks for the heads up! Are there any specific motherboards you'd suggest for my setup?
