Nice list. I have built four computers over the years and thinking about another fairly soon.

From your list, probably the only change I’d make is saving on the RAM 32 > 16GB. 16 is adequate. Using the savings and applying it to a tried and true reliable SSD brand like a Samsung or WD. Also add a couple case fans and a cheap CD/DVD player, they can still come in handy and can be had for under $25 new, or $15 used.

I appreciate it.
