If you missed the full set of required built request questions, please copy them from here and answer them in an edit to your post: New build or upgrade? Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors) Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) Budget range? (Include tax considerations) WiFi or wired connection? Size/noise constraints? Color/lighting preferences? Any other specific needs? Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests: Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software. Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists. We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.

My rule of thumb for gaming PCs is to allocate about half the budget to the graphics card. CPUs - Ryzen 9000 & Intel 13th gen had physical defects in early models. These defective CPUs are no longer sold. AMD delayed the launch and pulled it from shelves, while many Intel ones got out. Ryzen 7000 and Intel 13th-14th Gen have a separate issue where motherboards apply too much voltage damaging the CPU. Many people confuse/conflate this with the earlier CPU defects. AMD released BIOS updates last year to fix it, Intel released BIOS updates this year to fix the voltage. Damaged CPUs can't be fixed, but the correct voltage prevents damage. The 7800X3D & 9800X3D are the best gaming CPUs in the world, but the 9800X3D is fully sold out. AMD uses a separate CPU chip and a separate chip to connect the RAM. This separate RAM chip adds a small delay. Intel copied AMD for new Ultra 200 chips. Ryzen 9000 and Intel Ultra 200 are not great for gaming because of the delay from the RAM controller. 9000 is barely better than 7000, and Intel Ultra 200 is a downgrade. X3D fixes this by attaching RAM to the CPU. Thermalright is now the king of CPU coolers, they make heat pipes out of powdered copper that's fused on the outside. This makes them better performing than other CPU coolers with solid copper heat pipes. Heat Pipes contain liquid, and the powdered heat pipes act like a sponge sucking up the liquid so it doesn't all fall to the bottom. AMD and Nvidia will release new GPUs this month. AMD and Intel will release discounted Ryzen 9000 and Intel Ultra 200 models this month. ATX 2 PSUs (2004 standard) could handle a peak of 10-30% their listed capacity. So a 1,000 watt PSU might handle 1,100-1,300 watts peak. ATX 3 PSUs (2023 standard) are required​ to handle a peak of double their listed capacity, so a 650 watt unit must handle a 1,300 watt peak. A graphics card basically turns off and on billions of times a second. If it's 500 watts, then zero, then 500, then zero - it might average 250 watts. However a 400 watt ATX 2 PSU can't handle it, but a 400 watt ATX 3 PSU couldn't. Measuring these peaks needs advanced lab equipment, so in the old days many people bought PSUs with a bunch of extra capacity because they didn't know the peak usage of the graphics card.
