Hey everyone! I'm trying to put together my first PC build and I could really use some help. I've made a list of components, and I'm wondering if there are any better or cheaper alternatives that I should consider. Or, am I paying way too much for what I've chosen? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed since this is my first time building a PC, especially now that I have a big boy job. I really appreciate any info or suggestions you can provide! Here's my list: [PCPartPicker List](https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/fwz69C). Thanks!
