Hey. I am building my first pc and was wondering if this build is good. The xfx rx 7800 xt listed in the build is 700$ but im getting it for 480$. I am getting the motherboard for 150$ from newegg. Im expecting this build to last 6 to 8 years. Are my expectations realistic or are they unrealistic. I can also get a new rx 6800xt for $ 400 . I dont wanna risk getting a used gpu Btw the most intensive game im playing is helldivers 2. I mostly play older titles. No cyberpunk or monster hunter wild or stalker 2.

Hey thanks for the reply. i forgot to mention im outside the US so, parts like the ssd and psu you mentioned are unattainable.  Im getting the ssd, ram, cpu, from newegg. Im going to get the case, gpu and the psu from my local retailers. For the cpu cooler im probably going to get a cooler master hyper 212 halo
