I'm totally new to the field of pc building. Used an iMac for about 5 years. Wasn't able to get the price to where I want it to be. What changes would you recommend? Forgive me for anything stupid I put in and thanks in advance.

This would be significantly better. if you don't want to wait for the GPU and CPU to come back in stock you can buy a 3700x and a 5700XT.

i would get a Wraith Prism as it's a cheap but effective cooler upgrade for something like the 5600x
