This is my first build. Is this good enough?

Like the title says, this is my first build. I'm not sure if I'm missing anything or if there's anything I need to optimize. Should I change anything?

Hello @IdioticQuest. I noticed that you don't have an Operating System selected. I'd recommend Windows 10 Home.

Otherwise, I'd say this is a fair selection for your build! What kind of games did you have in mind for this build? What budget did you have in mind?

I'm mainly using it for game development and the such, but I'd like to be able to run some games that are generally better on PC than console, like Skyrim or more recently Cyberpunk. I'm trying to keep my total price around $1200, but I'm willing to go to $1500 if necessary.
Thank you for the response!

I'd recommend a couple of changes to your build. I've made the changes and added them to this build list.

I'd recommend a larger SSD. It's best to have at least 512GB for a boot drive, however, I'd recommend a 1TB drive if it's your only drive.

I'd also recommend a larger PSU. Especially if you wait just a bit for the recently announced 3060. Which I would recommend. I'm not sure that I'd recommend purchasing one just yet, as we haven't seen any reviews or benchmarks, however, it could be a worthwhile upgrade. Definitely worth considering.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
