Question New Rig, any changes I need to make?

[wtuck]

Howdy from Texas folks. As is my habit before I construct a new Rig, I'd like to post it here and ask all of you what your thoughts are. My budget is 2k USD and while I think I've done well, I would like any feed back ( Good , Bad or better Price to Performance). My TV is an old Vizeo 65" 1080P , but given some time to save up Ill buy a new 4K TV to be able to unleash the potential of this Rig. I prefer Air cooling for the longevity vs. AIO's as I only build a new Rig for myself when the games I want to play just cant keep up anymore on the old hardware I have. Id rather over spend a little now than to have to upgrade in the next few years. Ill get a simple Windows 11 Install USB from Amazon and buy a CD key from elsewhere. Thanks in advance for any comments!

Maybe this will work? links to PCPARTPICKER are often weird.

That's a good CPU choice if gaming is your primary interest.

You might get some nit-picking about the cooler or power supply, but it all looks pretty good to me.

Have you confirmed that the CPU cooler will fit in the case? PC Part Picker is usually pretty good about verifying that, but I'd double check.

The Case supports up to 175mm CPU AIR coolers and the CPU Cooler that I've selected is 154mm in height.
Gaming is my primary interest along with general usage, and so is making sure I can play whatever I'd like for a few years without problems. The color doesn't bother me as my favorite color is black. But the PSU, I feel needs to match the rest of the PC. Black esthetics with colors where it counts.

Low profile RAM so that the heatsinks don't impede a dual tower cooler. Here's a case with better airflow.

Thank you for the recommendations! I went with the RAM and the CPU cooler you recommended, but I went with the same case I had picked.
