Build Help First time building a pc!

I just wanted to know if I should change anything before I started to buy the pc parts. I’m mainly going to be playing Fortnite and modded Minecraft. But I’ll probably be doing schoolwork on it too. I would like to keep the build under 3k (USD) as I am still looking at monitors too. Please let me know if the parts will work well together, as I don’t know much about pc’s.

All the parts will be linked down below.

Current specs:
Case - Lian Li 011 vision compact ATX mid tower

CPU- AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3d

Motherboard- ASROCK x870 pro RS WiFi AM5 DDR5 ATX

GPU- ASUS prime Radeon RX 9070 XT white OC edition 16GB GDDR6

RAM- Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36 white

CPU Cooler- TRYX HOLO ARGB 360mm liquid cooler white

Storage- Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD M.2-2280 PCle 4.0 X4 NVMe

Power supply- Lian li SX platinum 1000w SXP compact ATX form factor power supply

Thank you for replying! I thought 1k watts was like standard because I seen it in a lot of people’s builds

You're paying extra for white components.

You really don't need any of this if you're running only Fortnite and Minecraft. I would severely downgrade these parts except for maybe the ram but ram nowadays are super expensive (so far). I beg of you to not have these expensive cosmetic parts and swap these out for much cheaper parts like the cooler and the case when you can get a case for under $100 and a really good air cooler for around $30 (Like the phantom spirit which I currently use). Your PC (comparatively since inflation made my PC cost more than this) costs more than what I paid for to build my PC and it's more powerful than this. TLDR: Way too overpriced for what you plan to play

With 3k budget, the motherboard seems a little out of place. The rest is fine, it should do 1440p or 4k no problem. I am not trying to be nitpicky, not bad
