Let me know if anything is not compatible together. I don’t know too much about PCs but I’d love to learn more this stuff is very interesting to me. It will be my first ever PC so I’m just trying to make something that can last a while. 
 

I went with the 1650 GPU just to have something Decent in the PC until over cards come back into stock. Hopefully that’s not too big of a problem. With this CPU I’ll have to Update the BIOS on the motherboard but that doesn’t seem too difficult. Let me know if there is anything I’m missing or just overlooking. Thank you.

4000D Airflow comes with 2 fans, so you don't need the 140mm fan pack. If you do want to get one, I would recommend Corsair AF or BeQuiet fans.

For the cpu... If you're trying to save money, maybe go intel?

Overall it's a pretty fine build. Big thing I'd change would be to just drop the 1650 and use the iGPU. You can then try your luck at getting a 3060 or 3060 Ti at Best Buy or Micro Center and not waste money on a card that's going to lose half its value in 6 months anyway. With one of those cards you'd still be losing money but not nearly as much as you would with the 1650 (given you get it at current MSRP).

How are the Integrated Graphics on the 5600G? I see what you’re saying I just didn’t know if the IG’s would be worth it.

It's about as good as a GT 1030. It's not amazing, but if you're trying GPUs are possible to get at MSRP (I've personally gotten 3 for me and my friends over the past 6 months), so I'd suspect you'd only be using it for 2-3 months. It should at least tide you over, and what you can do is try using the iGPU for a week or so, and if you can't stand that performance, buy a scalped 1650 to tide you over.

Didn’t really think about that before I guess so thank you for the help. Probably exactly what I will do.

Considering they want to play games like BF2042, CoD (maybe), and Tarkov, that's a horrible idea.

 

It's hard to get a fantastic gpu right now, but pretty easy to watch out for bundles with GTX 1660 SUPER or Ti cards, as well as maybe a 6600XT.
