Absolute beginner here, a little overwhelmed. Can someone take a look at this build and tell me how to improve it? Trying to keep it sub $1000

EDIT: Here's what I ended up going with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j3VDbK
I decided to stick with the stock cooler for now, if I need to upgrade later then I will. I was going to downgrade the CPU to the 5600 as recommended to save some money, but the prime day sale kicked in and the X ended up being cheaper. I also switched to the 980 Pro rather than the Evo 970, once again courtesy of our capitalist overlord's Bezos day. I managed to snag a new RX 6700 XT for $310 on Amazon a few days ago, but it's shipping from Portugal so we'll see if that sticks.
Really appreciate all the advice, yall made it a lot less intimidating.
You're viewing a single thread.
Sapphire is a good brand but pcpartpicker tells me that you can save 20-40+ bucks getting an XFX or Asrock 6700xt.
Are those solid manufacturers as well? I saw that sapphire was recommended so just stuck with that.
XFX is good too, no personal experience with Asrock GPU.
