I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice.  I have never built before, so any assistance would be appreciated!  I already have an old 1070 SC that I plan on using because money.  But looking to upgrade the rest of my rig.

    There's a few things I would change depending on what you're using the system for. 32GB of RAM is unnecessary and 16GB would be plenty for most people. You can also definitely save on motherboard cost, depending on what kind of motherboard features you want. There are a few good options for $200 or under that you can look at like the MSI Z490-A Pro and Z490 Tomahawk.

    What other parts do you have in your current system? There's other things you may be able to reuse like the power supply that could help save more cost.
