Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to build my first gaming PC and could really use your advice. I don't have many tech-savvy friends to consult, so I'm reaching out to the community for feedback on my planned components. Here's my build list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M8JvFZ. What do you think?

Just to confirm, your budget is $1500, right? The current combo you have might need some tweaks. I swapped in a new case and got you a 2TB SSD instead of the 4TB to free up some funds for a better GPU. Check out my adjusted build here: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ktQ8kf). With my suggestions, you can really maximize your performance for gaming!
It looks like you're spending a lot on storage but going a bit easy on the GPU. The one you picked is actually two generations old and pretty entry level. I'd recommend switching to a 990 EVO Plus 2TB for storage, and going for a 9060XT 16GB for the GPU. It’ll make a much bigger difference in performance!
Thanks for the tip! I don’t have a ton of experience with this, so I'm trying to make the right choices.
Yeah, $1500! Switching the case is no problem. I appreciate the detailed list and will definitely consider it!
