I have very little knowledge so anything would be helpful. I've watched a few building videos, done the PCPicker, read some Tom Hardware articles.

I haven't bought anything yet because the RAM is so expensive and there are two other video cards that might be better and a little cheaper.

Thanks.

Please tell me you aren't buying a copy of windows from Microsoft. You can download it for free and activate it with a key bought from numerous different places for a fraction of the cost. Also don't buy that CPU. Take the advice others have already said. Enjoy your build!

😅 In hindsight it seems rather foolish, doesn't it? It's my first time for everything. Getting a return done now. Also, yes. I'm not getting that CPU, instead a 7700x or 9600x, depending on how much I can get for them.

Sorry if I came across as rude. You don't know what you don't know :) good choice on the CPU. The 7000 and 9000 series are very similar although I think one of those (7700x) is an 8 core whilst the 9600 is a 6 core. That being said the 9600 is the better gaming CPU. Either of them would be a good buy imo. Good luck with the build in any case :)

No you didn't sound rude at all! More like a plea for me to not waste my money.

Well hopefully you get that refund and I helped a little bit. :)
