rate my first build

I won't lie, there are some good picks in your build but it's a pretty bad value.
Here's a list I made by modifying your selection a bit: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GkKD4M
Basically I've done this with Gaming in my mind and I'll explain my reasoning behind the picks on this list.

  • Since this is being built on a B760 board, in my opinion it would make more sense to save some money by going with a CPU that isn't overclockable and doesn't contain integrated graphics since those are not needed thanks to the GPU.
  • Peerless Assassin is a bit overkill but it is a very good value cooler non the less, performing about on par but far cheaper than NH-D15
  • For the motherboard, you won't have to spend that much on it to be honest. Focus more on the features, this MSI board also has Wi-Fi, M.2 support and is an ATX board instead of a Mini ITX which doesn't make much sense in a midtower build.
  • For just $7 more, you can get a faster DDR5 memory kit from G.Skill that has the same capacity.
  • I decided to switch the M.2 SSD for a PCI-E 4.0 one at a similar price point, now some may argue that this is just a waste of money but either way that's what I would do.
  • The graphics card you've chosen was the one I had biggest issue with, the RTX4060Ti is really bad in terms of performance for your money. A last generation RX 6700 XT will easily outperform it while having 4GB more VRAM. Raytracing performance is something to account for ofc, but at this price point I would recommend just turning it off.
  • As for the computer case, I wouldn't spend that much on an H5 Flow when you can get cases that perform just as well for far cheaper.
  • The power supply is actually a good pick, I always recommend Seasonic or SilverStone powersupplies but Corsair ones are also good.

Now, I don't claim to know everything and I know that some people will disagree with my picks as well but keep in mind what your usecase is and what matters to you more. @jolly edge
PS. Sorry for the wall of text :P

I finished reading it and I think I can still cancel shipping on the case and other part but the reason why I got the 4060 is cause I got it as a gift( not free just discounted) from my cousin.

That's fair, if you already have the card you shouldn't ditch it of course :D

You still end up saving a lot of money with these picks.
