I'm putting together a new PC that can handle Unreal Engine 5 and some serious gaming. Here's what I'm considering for my build, but I'm not sure if it's all going to work well together or if I'm just wasting my money. Any thoughts? You can check out my PCPartPicker list for details.

You might want to check out this alternative build: [link]. For just $100 more, it has a much better CPU, double the storage, and a faster GPU with more VRAM. The only downside is it has half the RAM, but it's DDR5 and you can easily add another stick later.
Wow, $200 just for DDR4 memory? I'd suggest going for a current-gen CPU and DDR5 instead; it’ll offer better performance for a bit more cash.
Are you locked into Intel for any special software? If not, I'd recommend considering an AMD CPU and GPU combo. You can often get better gaming performance for your budget that way.
Honestly, I'm just going with Intel because I think I need the extra cores for compiling stuff. Plus, I usually have a bunch of Chrome tabs open when I'm running the engine, so I want to make sure it can handle that.
You'd be looking at around $340 for 32GB of DDR5 though, just a heads up.
