I'm building my first PC from scratch and I wanted to get some feedback on my parts list. I've shared a link to it for reference. Are there any components that might be overkill for what I need?

Overall, it's a great setup, but I'd love to know what you plan to use it for. If you're streaming and recording videos, you could actually save some cash by going with an air cooler instead of a liquid one. They're simpler and tend to have fewer potential issues. Plus, you can find Windows licenses super cheap on eBay if you're looking to cut costs. Oh, and I switched to Linux Mint recently, and I really like how it runs!
Here’s a link to a modified build I created that cuts costs but boosts performance: [Updated Build](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/vdYVYX). I adjusted almost everything to get the price down while increasing efficiency.
Thanks so much! Honestly, I’m a bit lost with all this, so any help is appreciated.
Your build looks pretty solid! Just a heads up, you might want to swap the Windows 11 Pro DVD for the Home USB version; it's a better fit for most users.
Thanks for the tip! I'm definitely going to check out the Windows option you mentioned.
