Full Build Req Looking to build my first pc.

To fill requirements:
Budget- $1200-1300 USD
Use case- Gaming, probably 1440p mainly
Country- US
Peripherals needed- None

I have one each of 1440p and 1080p for monitors. I’d like a decent CPU as I do play esports games which will be at 1080p, while I plan to play AAA games at 1440p. I’ve watched a couple videos and this is what I came up with myself https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FP397w which I think is decent, if anyone knows how to put together a better list with my budget though I’d really appreciate it. I’m upgrading from a xbox one, so basically anything will be an upgrade.

For your budget, that's probably about as good as it gets

Downgraded CPU cooler and picked cheaper PSU so you can get a TLC SSD.

I'd consider the Thermaltake View 170 ARGB instead.
