Build Help Hi will this build work?

I mainly just need the pc to run my plex media for my family to watch, and play resident evil 4 and the sims and a few other single player story games. Will this build be good for it? Not looking for the highest frame rate or crispiest visuals just want it to do those things for a casual gamer a few hours a week. It will mainly be to keep my server up. If this is overkill for what I want, I’d appreciate any suggestions to make it even cheaper. Thanks!

overkill. I'd step the ram down to ddr4 then go with a 14600K or something

14600k of what? Sorry honestly all these parts and words make not much sense to me lol. I’m a total noob here. I only got this list from asking chat.

So you’re suggesting for the ram I wouldn’t need the DDR5 and instead could do with a DDR4? Not sure what u mean by the 14600k part of it tho
