I just finished building my PC and I'm looking for some advice on whether the parts I've chosen are compatible. Also, if there are any better parts I could consider swapping in? Here's the link to my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jfsgyW.

Honestly, your cooler seems way too pricey for the setup you have. You could easily get a decent one for around $25 that would do the job just fine!
Your build is a bit unusual, but all the parts are compatible. Just a heads up, newer components can be tough to find or pricey depending on where you live. Also, your CPU, the i5-11400, is a few years old—any idea how much the newer i5-12400 costs? And I'm curious why you opted for an H series motherboard; that's the most basic tier and might limit future upgrades. Also, spending on a Noctua cooler seems unnecessary here, and I'm wondering why you want 64GB of RAM. What’s your plan for that?
Oh, it’s mostly because the CPU and RAM were on sale! Might as well grab them now since I plan to upgrade later, and I heard the motherboard isn't that critical.
Noted, thanks for the advice!
