I'm looking for some feedback on my first custom PC build. I don't have a strict budget, but I want to make sure I'm getting good value for my money. I play casual games and sometimes dive into competitive ones like Dota 2 and Overwatch. I'm not interested in RGB lighting since I'll be using a Fractal North XL Mesh case to cover it up. I'm located in the U.S. Here's my build list: [link to PCPartPicker list].

You might want to check this build instead! It balances performance and cost effectively:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D for $359
- **Cooler:** ID-COOLING FROZN A620 for $30
- **GPU:** PNY OC GeForce RTX 5080 for $999
All in, this setup will set you back about $3262.92, which is a bit high, but it could be worth it for the performance you'll get.
I spotted a $999 build with an RTX 5080 over at Newegg. That could be a solid choice if you're looking for performance without breaking the bank. Just something to consider!
If you really want to save some cash, consider scaling down the monitor or switching to a cheaper GPU. You’ll still get great performance without going overboard.
