Question Help with a $1000 build

[TTtheTremendous]

Hello all, hope I'm posting this in the right place! I'm planning on starting from scratch with a new gaming pc. Main reason is that my current build will be unable to handle playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard. I'd also like to play games I missed out on such as Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. Is there anything I should be wary of or that I missed in this build? I really have no idea how well the components will hold up, in all honesty I'm very rusty, I just picked from the highly rated ones on pcpartpicker.com. I'd like to get a decent build on as much of a budget as possible.
Here's a link to the completed build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nWMrz6

That PSU is a fire hazard for starters. Apevia makes some of the worst PSU's on the market. I do not see a case in your build, so I will add one. Do you really need an optical drive? You can install windows via USB drive these days using Windows media creation tool.

I would run Windows unlicensed for now, and put your budget towards hardware. You can run unlicense and still get security updates. Just have to deal with a semi annoying watermark, and lose some customization.

8GB vram is going to become a problem in modern titles sooner rather than later. I wouldn't do less than a 12gb card.

5800x is a nice chip, but for gaming the 5700x3d is much better. You will want SSD storage for your games, so I ditched the HDD for a 2tb SSD.

The PSU I chose is more than you need, now, but gives you some room to grow.

I assume an old chassis was being used? If not loginofhades is basically the best suggestion.

Another build idea. Ditched the 1tb ssd, for a 2tb ssd, for an even faster graphics card.
