I'm planning to build my first gaming PC and I have a budget of around $1300. My brother gave me an old monitor, so I only need to focus on the PC itself. He helped me put together a parts list, and it's all coming from Newegg with the price including tax. He knows his stuff when it comes to PCs, but I'd love some additional opinions to make sure I'm making the right choices!

Check if there’s a Microcenter nearby! You might find better deals or options that could enhance your build. Just make sure not to rush the purchase until you’re confident about everything.
This build looks solid overall! The cooler might be a bit overkill for the CPU you have in mind, but if you like the way it looks, it’s not a bad idea to splurge a little. It’s totally fine to go a bit over budget for something that makes you happy!
Actually, the cooler is a gift item, so it's free for me!
Funny enough, I’m on my way to Miami for my niece's birthday and passing by one today!
