I'm new to building PCs since I only used a non-gaming laptop for gaming before. It could run some games decently but not all. Now, I'm planning to buy my first desktop and would like to know if this PC build list is good: [https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/XbxHwY](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/XbxHwY). Any feedback would be appreciated!

It's funny how RAM has become the most pricey part of builds these days, isn't it? Just keep that in mind when budgeting.
I think there might be a CPU bottleneck with that CPU/GPU pairing. It could be worth looking into a better GPU. Also, consider getting a high-quality power supply from a reliable brand, ideally with 80+ Gold certification. Swap out that cooler for a 240mm AIO or a Thermalright Peerless Assassin. As for the case, check out more reputable brands in the same price range. There's definitely some tweaking needed, but it's a solid start!
Yeah, your build will work! If you can, try to upgrade to 16GB RAM, especially if you can grab the 9060 XT. There should be some good deals during Black Friday.
Ok, thanks for the tip!
I changed the GPU in my list to a 16GB version from 8GB. Will that help with the bottleneck?
