Microcenter + Amazon Build

[vSyNd1c4t3]

Budget (including currency): $950 USD

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: RDR2, The Last of Us Part1, Starfield

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):
Not apposed to AMD, but 5600x3d or 7600 are what I was looking at, but couldn't make the final say on them.

I have a local Microcenter that I can make purchases from. The prices in the list are very similar to MicroCenter + Amazon for the GPU.

Can anyone do better? I'm curious what I might have missed.

Go for AMD GPU, it will be way better in Starfield and in the future due to having more VRAM (not to mention being faster while costing the same amount).
