Budget: 1000$ ±50

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: rdr2, cs2, newer games

Other details: just the pc

 

Is this a good list? I just want to know if theres anything im missing out on or anything that im doing wrong. (I also want it to look relatively nice)

I would move to a 12400/F or 13400/F (whichever's cheaper)

 

Get a cheaper SSD like a crucial P3 Plus 

 

Cheaper case

 

And use the savings on a 7800 XT

Upgraded to the 12400F (it's just a better CPU), swapped out the motherboard and RAM for something DDR5 compatible since the price worked out to about the same (also double the capacity, plus the motherboard supports overclocking the 12400F if you want to in the future). Swapped the SSD out for a 2TB model since the extra capacity will be more noticeable than the extra speed, and swapped out the PSU for something well reviewed but slightly higher wattage. Ditched the CPU cooler to get you back to $1000 (the stock cooler is OK enough), though if you really want one for RGB and aesthetics sake, the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 is probably your best pick:

It's not a bad list at all, though as others have said, definitely look at the 12400f

or get am5 and a 7800 XT

I'm not a fan of that RAM, maybe different case so the RAM can be better?

Yeah, it's not the best, though I was trying to prioritize saving the OG case and it still should perform better than DDR4. That kit isn't spectacular, but it's guaranteed Hynix A die and therefore should do 6000 CL30 if you care enough.

if only the factory cared enough to tune it and then not increase the price

Pretty sure that kit is more there so they don't have to bin it, so the savings are from that lack of binning and lack of the extra customer support associated with XMP. Still, 6000 CL30 should work on every kit, you might just need a bit more voltage than some of the XMP kits out there (I.E. 1.4V rather than 1.35)

Do i really need ddr5 and a 12400 for gaming though

Not really, but the price is the same overall as the DDR4 build you setup and you get double the RAM. The extra features you get with this like the overclockability of the 12400 (getting these chips to 5GHz is relatively easy, and it's not out of the ordinary to see a 30% performance uplift in games from it) and double the RAM are more important than DDR5 itself, and this is the cheapest way to get both.
