I'm 16 and building my first gaming PC with the goal of playing games at 1440p. However, since I'm on a budget, I want to ensure that the components I've chosen will work well together. Here's my part list for reference: [link](https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/fZyMt3). I would love any tips or feedback on my build!

Your build looks solid, but I recommend avoiding the cheapest SSD out there. While saving money is important, a reliable SSD can really improve your gaming experience.

MemoryMan3000: I disagree a bit; the WD Blue SN580 seems to be a decent budget option. Just make sure it fits your needs!

One thing to keep in mind with your CPU cooler and memory combination is that you might need to adjust the CPU fan height since your RAM sticks are tall. If that's a concern, consider going for low-profile RAM to avoid any clearance issues.

TechWizard16: Thanks for the heads up! I'll look into low-profile options.
