Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You could've stylized your post akin to this thread, and included your PCPaprtPicker link for a more easier/quicker assessment.

As for your build, at a glance, your build is fine, just that I wouldn't stick to one large drive. Instead split the SSD purchase with a smaller one for the OS and launchers, something like 500GB. Then get a larger PCIe based M.2 SSD. How are you going to cool the processor?

Here's my take on your build;

Thank you very much, very helpful!

For a gaming PC it's hard to say what parts without knowing what your using for a monitor as 1080p, 1440p or 4K would change everything.

EDIT example if it's for 4K you could spend a good bit less on the processor and put more into the video card.
