I'm diving into building my first PC and I've set a budget of $1000 to $1200. I've done some research and came up with a build that I think might work well, but I'm wondering if the components are worth the price. Here's the link to my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QdcWv4. Are there any suggestions for improvements while keeping the costs around the same?

You've made some solid choices for a budget build! I would suggest looking into a lower wattage power supply though—750W might be overkill unless you plan to upgrade your GPU or CPU later. A 600W power supply would save you around $60 while still delivering good performance. I recommend sticking with Thermaltake for reliability.
I’d be cautious with Thermaltake's lower-end PSUs; they don’t have the best ratings. I opted for the RM750e in my list since it’s cheaper and has a better rating.
