I want to know if this is a good PC build to game on. Need help finding out what power supply works best with this build. Also is 32GB of RAM overkill for gaming ? Should I settle with 16GB ?

The GPU is cool and quiet, still get a fast SSD, and this is a proper PSU selection. If you need to trim some cost, you can get a cheaper B550 board and less ram since 32GB is more than you need for a gaming PC.

the build is fine, 16gb of ram would be fine, but 32gb isn't a bad choice either imo for a little bit of future proofing. you can save money by getting a cheaper nvme if you want, and you can save a lot by going with a windows pro key off of ebay. should run well though, keeping in mind that ryzen 5000 is going to be released soon.

Is your budget still $1300?

adding a 5000 series AMD CPU and an RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT to this would give some excellent gaming performance.
