Getting ready to replace my 10+ year old PC. I used NewEgg's custom build tool to put this list together. Before I send them all my money was hoping someone could eyeball this list of components and let me know if there are are issues. Thanks in advance!

Mobo: MSI MPG B650 EDGE WIFI AM5 AMD B650 SATA 6Gb/s DDR5 Ryzen 7000 ATX Motherboard

PSU: CORSAIR RMx Series (2021) RM1000x CP-9020201-NA 1000 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular

GPU: MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0

RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6400

That is quite the lopsided combination. You should go with a 7800x3d, and bump up to a faster GPU. You want to use Z5 Neo, as it is AMD Expo ram.

Your build.

Better balanced option, with way more GPU performance. Such a large PSU is unnecessary, for this build, but it does give you future upgrade headroom.

What's your budget and what is your resolution?
I'd like to keep it under 3K. I'll be using this for my monitor but I'm not stuck on it if someone has a better 4K option:

LG 27" 144 Hz Nano IPS UHD Nano IPS Gaming Monitor AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible 3840 x 2160 (4K)
 
Wow you really got the price down and the components look awesome! It's gonna be a tough decision between your build and Logain's.

Awesome - I can't wait to build this and I can't thank you enough. I built my first PC 10 years ago with complete guidance from this forum and it still runs like a dream. It just can't handle some of the latest games (Baldur's Gate).

The only true 4K gpu is the RTX 4090. That's an expensive gpu. If you go with a 1440P monitor you can get great frame rates with a much less expensive RTX 4070 Ti Super.
