Building my first PC and looking for feedback!

Budget (including currency): ~$2000

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games only (Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): my first time building a PC and I’m looking for any and all help! My budget does not include peripherals, though I do plan on getting a 4K monitor. Build is below!

That ssd is a bit overpriced maybe go for the adata sx8200 instead arctic p12s would be a better option for the fans, wait to see if the 5800x is actually a good cpu and get g skill trident z rgb if you must have rgb ram but make sure its 3600mhz cl16

Noctua is the top PC fan manufacturer on the market. Not sure what your talking about.

 

SSD is a really good price.

 

Really good build overall.

These are Bad SSDs, no warranty, bad for BSODing, plus myself has gone through two of them. I will never buy one again.

i would consider this ssd instead they perform about the same/slightly better than the 970 evo plus and it has a slightly better endurance rating

Thanks for the specific recommendation! I guess as someone who is new to this, Samsung was a brand I recognized. But this would save me some money!
