Hey folks! I'm diving into my first PC build and want to make sure it's future-proof. I've double-checked compatibility, but I could really use your insights from personal experience with the components I've chosen. Here's my part list: [PC Part Picker Link]. Just so you know, I already have 64GB of RAM, which I got at a great price, even though I can probably get by with less. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

Honestly, unless you have a specific need for all that RAM, 32GB is more than enough for gaming nowadays. You might want to consider opting for a less expensive SSD and a B850 motherboard to save some cash.
I'd recommend looking into second-hand parts. This build seems a bit high for a first PC, and you probably won't need all that power. Check out places like eBay or Facebook Marketplace for good deals, but definitely get a reliable power supply and storage new. Also, consider selling some of that 64GB RAM to offset costs!
Since you've got the RAM sorted, that's one less thing off your list! I suggest you switch to the Aorus B850 Elite to save a bit more. For storage, maybe go for a 2TB Gen 5 SSD for your games and a 1TB Gen 4 for your OS and smaller apps.
