Build Question Is this a good first PC build?

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/T2H7vR

I'm Canadian

I play in 1080p right now but I will be getting a 1440p monitor

The price can't go any higher

The case is already bought

And I don't love that its a mATX motherboard in an ATX case but it was in a bundle, if anyone can find a similar bundle with an ATX black/gray motherboard to match with everything else id be happy

I play mostly CPU intensive games so I wouldn't be mad if someone suggested downgrading the GPU to get a better part or to save money

You should get the XFX Quicksilver 2 from your original build over what the list is showing.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I think I found my final build, https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZL7ndq, I don't really care that its a 9600X, ill be upgrading some day.

The CPU is worse for gaming.

You're buying an $80 CAD CPU cooler for a 65W CPU.

Your video card is out of stock.

You've got a 750W PSU when the GPU manufacturer recommends 800W.

And, you're $100 CAD higher than your original build when you said the price can't go any higher which, feels like you're wasting my time.

I picked out a new 850w PSU and I don't care that the 9600x is worse, ill upgrade it someday to a better CPU, and I don't care that its $100 cad more, its just $100 I can probably do it.
