I'm planning to build my first PC and I'm curious about the parts I've selected. The primary use will be gaming, but I also need to do some occasional paperwork. Ideally, I'd like to keep the total cost under $2500 USD. I can't use Ethernet since my router is in the next room, so any tips on that would also be appreciated. Here's my current part list for your feedback!

Your build looks solid! It seems like you've got a good balance of performance and potential for future upgrades, which is great. This setup should serve you well into college and beyond!
I noticed that Lian Li has a platinum-rated PSU that might be around the same price as the one you picked, but could save you some money. Also, you might want to consider a better CPU cooler since I'm not sure if that ASUS TUF model you're looking at is worth the price tag over $200. Just something to think about!
Thanks for the suggestion! Do you happen to know the specific model name of that PSU?

Thanks! I didn’t realize it had that much room for growth, which is reassuring.
