I asked someone to help me build a PC within a budget of $1,000 to $1,200, but the build they made for me came in at around $1,500. I'm not very experienced with building PCs, so I'm looking for some advice on whether this extra cost is justified. Here's the link to the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4FY2PJ. Any feedback would be appreciated!

I checked the build and it seems to go a little over the $1,200 budget, about $50 more with taxes included. But if you're looking for future-proofing and better performance on demanding games, that extra cash might be worth it.
What's the main use for your PC? Understanding what you'll be doing with it can really help in deciding if the extra cost is worth it. Just gaming, or something more like AI?
I mainly want it for gaming, particularly Minecraft, Terraria, and Ark. The AI part isn’t crucial, but if investing more means I can run bigger games, I'm okay with that.
Thanks for the insight! Could you explain how you managed to come up with that lower price? Is the performance comparable?
