I'm putting together a new computer from scratch and would love some feedback on my parts selection. The total cost should be around $2,500 where I am located. Here's the link to my part list: [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yKVG4p).

Overall, it looks like a balanced build! If you’re open to suggestions, consider the Asus Z790-AYW WIFI W motherboard. It's just as capable and has the white aesthetic you're going for, plus it's around 80 AUD cheaper.
Could you share which country you're building this in? Also, I'd recommend looking into AMD for better upgradability and better thermal performance. They don’t have issues that could potentially damage the CPU either. Here's a solid build you could consider: [Link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vB6qnp).
True, but Intel has also made strides with upgradability. LGA1700 is supporting new powerful CPUs like Bartlett Lake with 12 P cores, and AMD's AM5 will get Zen 6 with 12 CCD cores soon. Just keep BIOS updated to avoid any issues, especially with Ryzen CPU models.
Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out. The colors on PCPartPicker don’t match what I'm seeing exactly, except for the motherboard, which is close to what I want.
