I'm about to build my very first PC and I'm feeling a bit lost. I've picked out some parts, but I'm not sure how they all fit together or if they're the best options for what I want to do. I'd love to get your thoughts on the parts I chose! Here's the link to the list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GhQg2x.

Your baseline parts look pretty solid, but consider a few tweaks. What will you primarily use the PC for? If it's gaming, the 9600x is good, but you might miss those extra cores for productivity tasks. Also, keep in mind you're paying quite a bit for the RGB and white design on the memory. The 9070xt is pricey—think about a cheaper option or even upgrading to a 5080, which could offer you better performance for just a bit more. For the SSD, there may be cheaper PCIe 4 options, though the price difference isn't huge. A 750w power supply should work, but you might want to consider an 850w or even 1000w for better headroom—something like the Montech Century II at around $100 would be a good choice.
Yeah, you’re right! I’ll look into changing to a black design for the parts. After I make those adjustments, want me to share the new list with you?
