Value is not really there. Case is trash, and SSD is overpriced. Also PSU is terrible.

I did have a capture card but I realized I don't need one.

Still. Like the build @Downkeyposted has a more expensive CPU and graphics card (though you can't get it), and still came in $200 under your budget. $1700 for the parts you have in your build is ridiculous, even if that 1650 super is scalped.
