I'm gearing up to build my first PC and I have a budget of around $1200. It's crucial for me to get the best performance for gaming, particularly for titles like CS2, Valorant, and Call of Duty. I want smooth gameplay at high FPS on my 1080p, 180 Hz Acer monitor. Here's the build I've put together so far, and I'd really appreciate any tips on how to improve it or save some money where possible! Thanks!

Your build looks pretty solid overall! I don’t see any major areas where you could cut costs without sacrificing performance. It’s a balanced setup for the games you want to play.
Consider switching to 6000 CL30 RAM for guaranteed performance. The 6400 might not always run optimally without some tweaking. The 5060 Ti is a decent choice, but if CoD is your main game, AMD graphics cards might provide better value right now.
Cool, I found this [RAM](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cCKscf/silicon-power-value-gaming-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-sp032gxlwu60afdeae) that's priced similarly.
