I'm putting together my first PC build and need some feedback on the parts I've chosen. Here's my list:
1. Processor: Intel Core i5-13400F 2.5 GHz 10-Core Processor
2. CPU Cooler: ID-COOLING SE-214-XT ARGB 68.2 CFM CPU Cooler
3. Motherboard: Gigabyte B760M GAMING PLUS WIFI DDR4 Micro ATX LGA1700
4. Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16
5. Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD
6. Graphics Card: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 2X 12G (12 GB)
7. Case: Montech AIR 100 ARGB MicroATX Mid Tower Case
8. Power Supply: Corsair RM750e (2025) 750W Fully Modular ATX PSU
9. Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home OEM - DVD 64-bit.
I want to make sure all these components work well together, as I plan to play games like Genshin Impact and BeamNG.drive. Any advice would be appreciated!

I would suggest looking into the SSD you picked. The Crucial P3 Plus uses QLC flash, which isn't as durable as TLC drives and can slow down after a few years of use. Consider upgrading to a TLC drive like the Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 or similar for better performance and longevity.
Honestly, your build looks decent for a budget of $888, but you might need to look closer at some components. If you've got specific games in mind, make sure your GPU can handle them well. Also, if you're set on this price range, let me know what aspects matter most to you, and we can figure out what might need tweaking!
Thanks for the input! I’d like to keep it under budget, but I want the best performance for gaming. What do you suggest I change?
