Planning to build a mid range PC (Read entire message before clicking link or commenting)

Budget : 1200$

Country: America

Games that it will be used for: Minecraft, Video Editing, Rust, Valorant, League of Legends

Other details: Try to find problems with my build : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GfVXtn and comment them on pcpartpicker or here. Also suggest replacement parts if you feel like there is a better option. For the motherboard I choose a x570 board because it was the only am4 motherboard i could find that was that cheap (please prove me wrong). Also the prices of all components are set by me based off of retail prices i have access to.

You have put a 3050 in your main parts list and a 6700xt in alternative parts. The 6700xt is a significantly faster GPU (about an extra 2/3 faster) and since its not much more expensive, i think thats a significantly better buy.

Ive swaped out the motherboard that you chose for a slightly cheaper one. Its a B550 instead of an X570 but a B550 is much more normal for a 5600 and it still has all the main features that the board you chose has (including overclocking support if you are interested in that). I suspect that you might have picked the motherboard that you did for the RGB, and if thats worth the extra money to you then by all means go for it.

Ive swaped the SSD from a samsung 970 evo plus to a kingston NV2. Its potentially a slightly slower drive but its also quite a lot cheaper and its still a good quality, reliable drive that really wont make a noticable difference. something like the WD SN570 is another good option for about half way between the price of the 970 and the NV2. All 3 drives have almost identical read/write speeds but the NV2 had a write endurance of 320TB, vs 600TB on the sn570 and 1200TB on the 970.

Ive also swapped the power supply to a slightly cheaper one with identical specs from Corsair
