I've put together a list for my first PC build, and I'd love some feedback on whether it's worth the price and if the parts I've chosen are good enough. I'm looking to primarily game and do some 3D modeling with this setup. My budget is around $2000-$2200. Here's the list of parts I came up with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3vxWC8. Any thoughts?

I really like your build! Assuming you're in the US since you shared a US list, I've got some suggestions. For better performance in modeling and rendering, consider a CPU like the 9900X, which offers great productivity power and gaming performance. Also, I recommend upgrading your RAM to a 64GB kit for handling larger projects and including a 4TB SSD since files can get pretty big. I swapped your case for a similar one that has nice quiet fans and some RGB, plus a quality 1050W PSU for future upgrades. The GPU you chose seems overpriced, so I found a better deal on a 9070XT. Feel free to tweak it if you want, hope this helps!
If gaming is your primary focus, I'd suggest going for the 7800X3D. You're spending too much on your motherboard and RAM—consider a B850 board with Kingston RAM instead. The case could be cheaper too; check out Montech alternatives to save some cash for a better CPU. I'm using the 9800X3D with the 9070XT and it performs excellently at high resolutions. Overall, it looks solid, no major red flags!
Be cautious with the motherboard; I've heard MSI has some issues where the DRAM and CPU lights stay on and won't turn off, even after clearing CMOS or updating the BIOS.
