Beginner build
I put this build together for my 1st PC and was wanting to get some tips on possibly reducing cost and if this is a pretty coherent build. Thanks https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=3fcf18bc-155c-4654-a27b-158f22f143ed

@TyTodd816 I don't think you should pair a Core i9 with a 1600 series GPU, because the CPU takes the load. Also, I would go AMD, just because they are reliable, they have PCIE 4.0, and they have good coolers.
Here is an AMD version: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=e42748be-954c-4c32-b20b-562b65bd16a4
An explanation for the parts:
CPU: This has full PCIe 4.0, in case you want to upgrade storage, your Graphics Card to a better one. And, this is the best value CPU for multitasking. This also ships with an amazing cooler, which I use in my rig. Alternatively, if you want a better gaming one, the 5600X is better, but with less cores, but still better than the previous king, 10900K.
MB: This is the best value motherboard for B550, and is a great bank for the buck motherboard, with full PCIE 4.0 connectivity.
RAM: I would reccomend 32 gigs, but 3200 speed is the best middle ground. If you don't want to get pricey, this is the best option.
GPU: If you want even more power for a bit more, Nvidia's cheapest Ampere Card (as of writing this) is the best value for money (3060ti). It is comparable to a 2080 super, and the FE is just fine.
