And why not Newegg? If you go to a component page on PC Part Picker and select the Merchant, it limits your selections to that merchant.

The RX 5700XT is unavailable on amazon right now, but it is available on all other merchants for 400$, so I have manually given its price there.

Edit:
The 5700xt is back in stock so I have updated it .

I built this system primarily for gaming, but I have put a good amount of money towards fast nvme storage and a good case and power supply for future upgradability.

The Very high speed memory (DDR4-3866 cas 18 should downclock to the ideal 3733 CAS 17 for the best memory results, and was cheaper than the other ideals of CAS 3200 cas 14 and 3600 CAS 16. The 3600 should overclock to match the 3600X on the base cooler without breaking a sweat. The older Glacier GPU isn't top-deck, but is adequate to the job and modular. A review shows excellent performance (including pulling 900W before failing safely)

This is ready to handle 1080p gaming with no problems, and 1440p at high, but not ultra, settings

No compromises 1000$ build, cool, silent, you could go lower on a lot of parts, ditch aftermarket cooler etc. and get better graphics card, but those are top notch components which will serve you for years, and you can easily upgrade it later with no issue. RTX 2060 instead of rx 5700 because it has better cooling solution, otherwise 5700 is better.

It's more like a build guide for anyone wanting to build a great PC right now, use it, if you dont have a $1000 constraint you can add up to rtx 2080 super to this build and it will run perfectly, CPU and PSU are more than capable.

Cheers.

Motherboard requires flashback, with the spare budget you can upgrade any part. Very close performance to any other build in this range. Best price to performance ratio.
