I'm planning to build a gaming PC for my little brother since it's been four years since my last build. My budget is around $2000, and the main games he's interested in are Forza Horizon 6, GTA 6 (when it comes out, haha), BeamNG, and Valorant. I've put together a build that I found online, but I would love some feedback on its performance and any suggestions for improvements. Here's the link to my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jqGr9C. Thanks in advance for your help!

Honestly, I think your initial build is decent, but I recommend switching to an AMD processor. The Intel ones aren't as cost-effective these days. Also, check out the build I've modified for you here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fTwz8Q. It includes an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, which will really boost your performance for gaming. Plus, I found some great deals on parts that fit under your budget!
I’ve heard that about AMD processors! Thanks for the suggestion. Do you think I should also change the RAM to DDR5? Is that worth it?
