First build

[Cookie_Crumbs]

Budget (including currency): $1250 (USD)

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: New triple a games and DCS (which is more cpu intensive)

Other details Already have 32 gigs of ram @ 3600mhz

Here is what I made https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WQjGsL just doing one last check to make sure its all good or if there are better parts.

My only suggestion given your use cases would be to spend a few extra bucks on a 2tb NVMe drive to give you some room to grow. AAA games take a lot of space, and if you're doing any sort of work productivity stuff you may not want to have to worry about the drive getting close to full and slowing down.

Sorry should have mentioned this but I will be keeping my old 500 gig SSD drive . I did consider using my old case but it kinda sucks and figured getting a nicer case would mean I don't have to buy one next time.

I made two subtle changes to your build is all. A better cpu cooler and a case with better airflow (2x140mm front intake fans + 1x120mm rear exhaust fan).
