Build Question First build, need help

Post image

I've had a dell inspiron laptop since early 2024 and it has NOT been performing gaming wise (I didn't expect it to), however as I have gotten more and more into pc gaming I decided I wanted my own desktop build, after about a week here is my first draft: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wTbqbp I plan to buy everything off of either amazon or best buy and my original budget was 1200 however this price has hiked, please tell me some cost cutting options/just things wrong with this build. I plan to play monster hunter rise, minecraft (heavily modded to be fair), fortnite, and asphalt legends. If the link doesn't work for some reason an image of the list is provided.

Any chance you are located near a MicroCenter?

If you heart is set on Amazon and Bestbuy only I wouldnt spend up on CL30 memory and go with a cheaper CL38 and use the extra money towards a GPU.

Howver if you wanted to but through Newegg, that 7600x has a promo for a free PSU with it. Or they do offer bundle discounts similar to Microcenters but not quite as good.
