I'm in the process of assembling a new gaming PC that I hope will last me well into 2030 or even 2035. Since I'm still pretty new to building PCs, I've done as much research as I could while picking out my parts. The compatibility checker says everything fits together, but I'd love some extra eyes on my list. Does anyone have suggestions for improvements, or is there anything in my build that I shouldn't have included? I really appreciate any feedback! After considering some initial comments, I've updated my build, which you can check out here: [the upgraded build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YvcDt3).

First off, you might want to look at upgrading your CPU and motherboard. I suggest going with a Ryzen 9800X3D and an AM5 motherboard. Also, it's best to use 2 sticks of DDR5-6000 CL30 instead of 4 sticks. Not only does it perform better, but it reduces the chances of boot errors, especially with DDR5. Just a thought!
I ended up changing my CPU and motherboard after similar advice—it made a huge difference!
Also, about the monitors you chose—if you're investing in such high-end parts, consider getting OLED monitors instead. They can enhance your gaming experience significantly!
Exactly! Using 2 sticks helps keep things more stable and makes it easier to run those expo profiles too.
