I'm planning to build my first PC and I'd love some advice! I'm a bit of a newbie in this area and have put together a parts list on PCPartPicker. I want to make sure my setup can handle gaming, especially games like FiveM and modded Minecraft. I'm also considering streaming, so I need to know if this build will work for that too. Any expert opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated! Here's my list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P2BBt3

If you’re looking to save some money, I've seen Windows licenses on eBay for around €15-30. Also, I'd recommend watching some build videos on YouTube based on the components you chose to see if they fit your needs before going all in.
While I'm not a pro, I suggest using an FPS calculator to check expected performance for your games at different resolutions. It'll help determine the minimum specs needed. Also, don't forget to check for proper cooling and a good power supply—aim for a 'gold' rating to ensure reliability.
Your build looks more than capable for those games! Just a heads up, you might want to consider switching some parts around to save a bit of cash without sacrificing performance.
I appreciate the tip! Honestly, I'm not too savvy with PC parts. I got some help from a friend and ChatGPT, but I'm open to looking at alternatives.
Perfect, I'll check that out! I want to get the basics right and then plan to research to see if I can save some cash or upgrade my build.
