I wanted to ask for some other opinions because I have heard that PCPartPicker isn't always 100% reliable. I am 16 and building my first PC. I have set the bar pretty high as I know I will get plenty of use out of the machine. My primary concern as of late is that I want to make sure everything seems compatible. These are the specs

For that price I'd definitely go for an Intel CPU and also I'd stick to 2 places to buying things which is completely optional and my opinion.

Alright, so if you don't mind me asking, what improvements would I get from an Intel CPU, and how much of my build would I have to change? Also, thanks for the advice on shipping, I switched everything that I could to amazon.

Without knowing what the PC will be used for, it's hard to judge if it suites your needs. This is the guide that we give people to get a better understanding of what you need -


What is your budget and currency? (Pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?
What will you use the PC for?

What is your budget? - 3,000 USD
Do you need a monitor? - Yes
Do you need a keyboard? - No
Do you need a mouse? - No
Do you need an operating system? - I would assume so, if there is a way to use the windows 10 that I already have that would be nice, but I don't know if there is a way for me to do that.
What will you use this PC for? - I am going to be using it for gaming. I play most games and am very excited for this upcoming holiday season, so I want to try and get a great PC, so I can play these games in all of their glory.

I apologize if I wasn't great on my original post, I am new to this forum and just wanted to find somewhere that I could get some help picking out my PC. Thanks to everyone for their advice!
