For the past few weeks now I've been researching and sorting out a possible build since the time looks favourable finally. I'm looking for possible suggestions since I'm not planning for AM5 or whatever the Intel equal is. The slots confuse me. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kP4BJM I'm planning Black Friday and maybe Cyber Monday to order the majority if not all the parts.

My Notes: I want to keep it under a thousand. I'm thinking depending on price I'll get either a 5600 or 5600x. I may get the former since cheaper and minimal difference in performance.

I have a Vetroo V5 cooler I ordered last year I'm going to use for this build new out of the box. It should be agreeable given it's max height is 148mm and the Phanteks case is 162mm.

I chose the CX2 from reviews. I'll consider other options within storage and price range from suggestions given I've never procured an SSD.

I found this specific RAM just now. Is there a difference between it and the Dark Z worth five dollars more?

Video card I chose because Sapphire is the better manufacturer, right?

I went with this case because I get three dRGB fans that are same brand that seem ok and less investing for fans hence the two Corsairs to use as exhausts rear and top. Other fan suggestions I'm all for.

Motherboard due to the fan headers, the aRGB header, wifi, and being able to confirm on the board itself what BIOS version is compatible with Ryzen 5000. I'm still concerned about getting an incompatible version so maybe I'll go to Best Buy to get one and see if I can get better assistance.

PSU is just a placeholder. It'd be nice to have but I'm open to suggestions for a decent brand that's under eighty dollars. Same with the mouse regarding suggestions. I miss my Deathadder but I'll consider other options at an agreeable price range since I want to replace my Lenovo Legion M200.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or observations.
