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.
It looks solid, but an AM5 build will have more longevity for the board and ram. Itll cost a bit more now, but I was able to find something similar to what you have now on AM5 and still under 1,000

Edit: since you don't need a cooler, you could probably get a 6750XT as well
With an AM5 build, wouldn’t I need to upgrade a few of the other components as well?
Edit: nvm opened the link and saw the build. I’ll need to spend some time considering this lol
One option to consider if you want to save on am AM4 build would be to get used from people that are upgrading to AM5. I wouldn't really recommend AM4 for a new build. But good luck!
