New Build

[Unhelpful]

Budget (including currency): Roughly $1,200

Country: U.S.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Baldur's Gate 3, W40k Rogue Trader

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):

 

This is the current build, I'd really appreciate some input and recommendations since I've been out of the PC building game for a few years:

I have a Microcenter near me, if that helps.

 

Thanks!

I changed the motherboard, ssd and psu. Ram's more or less the same.
This is not that bad of a build, but I'd try and get a 7600x with a peerless assassin cooler, but that would drive you up a fair 50-60 bucks up, I just wanted to get closer to the budget without overspending too much.
Since you have a Microcenter, check their offers out on combos, you can definetly get a good discount on the parts that way
