Hey everyone! I used to build my gaming rigs with help from this subreddit and PC Part Picker, but it's been a solid decade since I last gamed, and I feel completely out of the loop now. I'm trying to put together a new PC setup that can handle modern, graphics-intensive games and still allow me to watch streams or chat on Discord with friends on a second monitor. I want to know if my current build makes sense or if there are parts where I could downgrade to save some cash. I've only got the tower right now, so any advice is much appreciated! Here's my current parts list: [PC Part Picker Link].

I checked out your build and it looks solid! You might want to swap out the CPU cooler for a Peerless Assassin, which is cheaper and still effective. Also, if you find a good deal, DDR5-6000 with CL30 is just as good for most games. And definitely go for an NVMe SSD for your game drive instead of that HDD you have!
Thanks for the suggestions! I wouldn’t have thought about the SSD vs HDD thing.
