I'm planning to build my first gaming PC in January or February and I'm looking for feedback on my setup. I can get to a Microcenter easily and my budget is $1500. I'm thinking of purchasing a motherboard and CPU bundle from them to save costs. My main goal is to run games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur's Gate 3 with good graphics and performance, and I want to ensure this build lasts me for a few years without needing upgrades. Here's my PCPartPicker list: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xj8874](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xj8874)

Just a heads up, prices might skyrocket in January and February due to shortages. You might want to consider buying some parts earlier or be prepared for higher costs! Good luck with your build!
I'd steer clear of the Corsair CX power supply — some models aren't great. Instead, check out the Montech Century II; it's cheaper, has better quality, and offers higher wattage.
Microcenter doesn't carry Montech, but is Powerspec a decent alternative to consider?
