PC Build look ok?

I put together this PC, hoping to upgrade from a crappy HP Prebuilt. Not super computer savvy so i wanted a second opinion on if this looks good for a low-mid range gaming pc. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GT4JVF

Not so good. Use fuddyduddy's list but you want Windows 11 Pro for the group policy editor. Trust me on this.

If you are purchasing all these parts new, then a few issues: * The CPU you’ve selected is now three generations old; there are much newer and better performing options. * The video card is very overpriced - it’s an older card and is worth maybe half that price new. * Since you’re on a budget, I’d suggest not paying such a large premium for the case - there are good options for significantly less.
Some suggestions to get you significantly better performance, double the storage, and better cooling for the same cost. * CPU: The Ryzen 7600 will provide significantly better gaming performance. These benchmarks show that even at 1440p, the 7600 is providing nearly a 17% bump in performance over the 3600. * CPU Cooler: The Phantom Spirit is one of the best air coolers for only $12 more than the Cooler Master. * Motherboard: B650 with WiFi and Bluetooth. * Memory: 32GB of good spec DDR5 RAM. * Storage: Switched to a 2TB PCIe 4 NVME for only $15 more than the 1TB drive in your list. * Video Card: Changed to a 7900 GRE that will provide a significant 67% better performance at 1440p based on these benchmarks. * Case: Much less expensive case that will provide as good airflow (with the added 3-pack of 120mm PWM fans). * Power Supply: Upgraded to a good quality 850w ATX 3.0 unit for the same cost.

There is nothing worth keeping in that build, you need to start over from scratch. Here is a vastly superior build for the same price:

Honestly good low-mid build except that Graphics Card is a SCREAMIN ripoff at that price. Get a 7700XT or 7800XT instead.
