This is my first PC build, and I'd really appreciate some honest advice before buying anything. I'm especially unsure about the graphics card and want a system that will run Elden Ring well and remain capable for the next few years. Please point out any overpriced, incompatible, or poorly chosen parts and suggest better alternatives if needed.

I put together an alternative parts list that upgrades the processor and graphics card while using a much less expensive air cooler. It also includes a motherboard with Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, 32GB of DDR5 memory, a faster and more durable 1TB SSD, a better 850W power supply, and extra fans for airflow. The revised build should handle Elden Ring comfortably and leave you with a better upgrade path than the original.
