Help with first build

Duckmag

Hello guys, trying out my first build and want some pointers on this list. Budget is 1100$ but would like to see if this list is a good fit. Willing to go up or down depending on major performance upgrades. Again this is going to be my first build, will be using it primarily for gaming but will also be doing BASIC audio recording.

Overall it's a good built inside of your budget. If you upgrade anything on this system, I'd start with the GPU, it'll just improve your performance overall for gaming. RAM, I'd like to always try to hit 3600 on an AMD build, but with the prices going up on the 3600 CL16 RAM it's not as good of a cost effective upgrade as it has been in the past. Looks good.

I switched a couple things around, does this setup look good with monitor and all?

Looks pretty good to me! That monitor should be a good choice at that size/price

Awesome thanks so much, going to order everything from the Tustin store in the next day or so. Really appreciate the help!
