Budget (including currency): $1500 usd, I’m buy the parts separately over the next few months so I wouldn’t mind going over that budget a little.

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Warzone, GTA, CS go and occasionally using photoshop

What do y’all think of my build, did I do anything wrong? Where can I improve it?

Go with  a different case as the h510 has crap airflow...

and get the 500gb version of that ssd as 250gb of ssd runs out pretty fast.

Agreed, get a P360a if you can

If you can't afford to allocate more budget to an ssd, you can just get a 500gb sn550

Also, motherboard is expensive

he's prolly using the ssd just for windows

500gb of ssd storage is a nice to have for commonly used games and programs. some games don't run very well on HDD storage due to asset loading. not common but possible.

I wouldn't buy parts over the course of a couple months, because if something comes in broken, you will be out of the return window before you realize that it's broken. As for the system, I'd honestly recommend you go Intel so you can get the iGPU and hunt down a 3060 Ti in the mean time.

This is the system I would go with. I went Intel, and the 11500 is a very good value, especially compared to 3600 which is slower in games and about equal in productivity work while being $10-20 cheaper, with the only downside being it's relative lack of an upgrade path (though by the time you'd want to upgrade, you'd have to swap out the motherboard anyway). You don't need an AIO with a non overclockable chip, so a Hyper 212 should be a very good match for quietness and price. The case has been swapped out for a P400A, which while is $20 more expensive, includes 3 fans so you don't need to bother getting a $50 pack of extras. I swapped out the SSD for a 500 WD NVMe drive, since while the 970 evo drives are really good, prices have doubled in the past month or two making them very hard to recommend. The only thing I would change is the motherboard, but that is because most manufacturers haven't fully announced and released their B560 and H570 series motherboards yet, so unless you want to try going through the effort of doing a BIOS update on an older board, wait until they have released some better boards to use instead.
