this list looks good, i was originally planning to switch the list to AM5 but it seems that DDR5 is still rather expensive
one thing i would change is using a different power supply since this PSU is a bit cheaper and ranked higher on PSU tier list

looks fien to me, but i would see if you maybe can find a few more bucks to go for DDR5 ram (and board) because DDR4 is a bit EOL by now and if you upgrade in a few years you will need new ram as well 

 

 

EDIT: the psu is waaay overpriced (at least in pcpartpicker) so maybe go for something like the Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 850W, still a good psu but a lot cheaper.

Your choice of cpu cooler is inadequate for that cpu and that board in your build has poor VRM's which will most likely lead to thermal throttling when that cpu goes into turbo boost. Also the difference between DDR4 3200 vs DDR4 3600 is slim at best with these Intel 12 / 13 gen cpu's. If going with a RTX 40XX gpu then look for a ATX 3.0 cpu. What your build needs is balance ... better board along with a better cpu cooler and in order to do that with your budget something has to be changed. The obvious change would be the cpu.

 

Nvidia is due to release three new gpu's next month. Look at the reviews of the RTX 4070 Super 12GB.
