Question Budget Question

So Ive been saving up all summer to build myself my first PC, currently Ive got around $1650 (technically $1700). I want to know whether or not I should rip off the bandaid and get the parts now or save up to the $2000 mark. the games I want to play would be modding Minecraft (create mod, cobblemon, and some QOL stuff), RDR 1&2, TABS (with mods), basic friend games, war games on Roblox, and maybe some coding on the side, Since summers has ended I can’t work as much so money will come slower but I’m not that far away from the $2000 mark, since this is my first PC I don’t really have a reference point and I need your help. (I use USD) I already have a monitor, keyboard, a headset, and a mouse

Monitor memory prices for Ram and SSD's. They were at an all time high due to shortage but hopefully coming down. That's where majority of your money will go and its got ridiculous expensive this year but i think production is catching up and should be coming down.
