I'm building my first PC with a budget of $950-$1100 and would love some feedback on my parts list. The most demanding game I play is Escape from Tarkov, which runs poorly on my current setup (a 2060 and an i7-2600), but it's somewhat playable. I also enjoy games like Rust, Minecraft, and Terraria, and I'm interested in playing RuneScape: Dragonwilds. For general use, I do some browsing and watch YouTube. I'm planning to get a 1080p monitor with a decent refresh rate. I'm open to exploring AM5 options if they offer a good price-to-performance ratio. I'm located in West Virginia, so I don't have a Micro Center around. Here's the link to my parts list: [PCPartPicker Link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sVmh8Q). Note that the graphics card price I mentioned is just an estimate; I've seen a good deal for a Sapphire Pure 3 fan 7800xt at $499.99, but currently, it's around $540 for an ASRock Challenger with 2 fans.

Unfortunately, it looks like there's no Micro Center near you. If you're looking for good parts, you might want to be on the lookout for some bundles on Newegg. They sometimes have great deals that can fit your budget!
For a 1080p gaming setup, I suggest going for an AM5 with a 7600xt. That should give you a great balance of performance and value for your budget!
Make sure you check your PCPartPicker link! It seems like it might not be working right. You can create a proper permalink by editing your part list or use a table format to share your components.
Yeah, I noticed! I’ll keep an eye on Newegg for those bundles. Thanks for the tip!
