Seems ok.

 

Would the i5 12400F and an MSI B660 board be a lot pricier? If not, it's a way better option.

I checked PCpartpicker the CPU is about the same but the board is about 50% more

still I'd say it's worth it to go 12400F
@Overpowered66please consider going 12th gen
also cryorig M9 isn't that great so you can go 12th gen if you just use the stock cooler comes with the 12400F

Go 12th gen or ryzen 5000 (12th gen is futureproof but ryzen 5000 has better boards for the same price)

 

M9 is trash 92mm so just ditch that and get a cheap 120mm tower like gammax 400/v2/gte, vetroo v5, etc.

 

Core gc is a lowend model so consider a diff gold psu in the 600w range since any less than 750w is what id consider a throwaway psu that youll upgrade when you swap parts so might aswell get better efficiency

 

Otherwise looks great actually, everything looks to be well specced and nothing overpriced

like i said I'd just ditch the M9 and go 12th gen with 12400F and stock cooler, since you can always upgrade from stock cooler easily but good luck trying to sell that Cryorig M9
