I'm putting together my first PC and would appreciate some advice on the parts and overall value. I'm mainly planning to play cozy and simulation-style games such as Stardew Valley, Grimshire, Viscera Cleanup Detail, and Dave the Diver. I'm also open to buying a prebuilt if that would provide better performance for the money. Here's the parts list I'm considering: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VZmnGk

If your budget is around $1,000, you may be able to get a stronger gaming system with a dedicated graphics card, especially if gaming is the main goal. There are also decent prebuilt options around that price, including open-box systems, and the used market can offer good value. If you don’t expect to play many games, though, you could probably spend less.
I’ll mostly be playing cozy and simulation games like Stardew Valley, Grimshire, Viscera Cleanup Detail, and Dave the Diver. Thanks for pointing out the prebuilt option—I’m definitely open to going that route.
