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 (lemmy.one)

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.

My current pc is running on 8 or so years with the only upgrade being an ssd. I’ll probably run this one into the ground as well lol. That is good to know though, thanks. I’m hoping the next pc will be a little more high-end.
