1000$ build for new pc user

Budget: Between $1000 and $1100 USD

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite, Minecraft, R6S, 

Other details: The build is for my friend who has never used a PC before. He's going to play at 1080p 165hz for the time being, and he also needs to buy windows 11 I assume, and since I never had to do that I would like some help finding the cheapest way to get windows on his PC as he is upgrading from nothing. 

Just wondering if any changes should be made to this list.

Cheaper case can be used, windows 11 is free from the windows website you just download it, I'm assuming you mean a windows key which can be bought for like $15 USD on cdkeys or stuff like that. What I would change is the case, it's quite an expensive case for the budget. Otherwise the list looks pretty decent for the use cases.

My First PC
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Cooler: Asus TUF Gaming LC240
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B550-f gaming
RAM: 4x8 GB Corsair Vengeance RS (3200 MHz, CL16)
Storage: 1tb Samsung 980 Pro
Graphics Card: Asus Dual RTX 2060 OC
Case: Deepcool Matrexx 50
Power Supply: Corsair RM650x
Headset: Razer Blackshark V2
Keyboard: Corsair K70 Pro Mini (Speed Silver switches)
Mouse: Razer Viper Mini
Only changes I have made is I sold the 2060 for $235 AUD and bought a Powercolor Red Devil 6700 XT for $400 second hand (it was barely used, think I scored a deal on Ebay with that).
I'm learning video editing and trying to get some cash as a high school student.
I like F1, my favourite team is Scuderia Ferrari and favourite driver is Charles Leclerc. Favourite track is Red Bull Ring in Austria.
Playing with a 1080p 60hz monitor right now, hoping to upgrade to a 1440p 144hz one soon.

Living in AU and that pisses me off since every event is late at night or early in the morning (almost every F1 race starts around 11 PM AEST time)

 Thanks. Do you have any recommendations for cases that are easy to build in? I picked that because I figured there would be a lot of online resources about how to build in it, as its a really popular one.

I dont think i know many cases that are harder or easier to build in. My friend recently built in the H5 flow and said it was great. Is that cheaper than the 4000d?

looks odd, you can get more connectivity on atx, more fan headers etc.

7700x + 6800 + 32gb 6000c32

 

microcenter 7700x bundle for cpu mobo and rams

 

all around upgrade with everything but the psu upgraded cause the psu is actually really good value (750w with a 10 year warranty for 20$ less than an 850w)

this is a great option

That’s an awesome deal. Unfortunately I don’t have a microcenter anywhere near me.

non microcenter version though you only get a 7600

 

can fit a 7700 if you ditch the cooler and use the stock wraith prism which is a pretty good stock cooler
