I'm building my first PC and I've done some research on the components. Here's what I've picked out:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
- **Cooler**: Noctua NH-U12A chromax.black 60.09 CFM CPU Cooler
- **Motherboard**: MSI PRO B650-S WIFI ATX AM5
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
- **Storage**: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB M.2 NVME
- **GPU**: NVIDIA Founders Edition GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB
- **Case**: Fractal Design North ATX Mid Tower
- **Power Supply**: Corsair RM750e (750 W 80+ Gold)
- **Fans**: Corsair LL120 120 mm (3-Pack)
- **Monitor**: KTC H27S17 27.0" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz Curved Monitor
I mainly want to play games like Red Dead 2, Last of Us, and GTA 5. Could you let me know if there are any major flaws or if there's room for improvement?

I think you're spending too much on the CPU cooler and SSD, and some of your choices seem a bit focused on aesthetics. I feel like the GPU is where you should invest more for gaming performance.
This build needs some work. Depending on your budget, it might not be ideal. The Ryzen cooler seems overkill for a budget build and that motherboard isn't the best option. Plus, the RAM speed isn't optimal. Consider a different GPU; the one you chose is quite dated. Also, the case is pricey and doesn’t come with fans, which is something to watch out for.
Harsh but thanks for the feedback!
