Never built a PC before, but thought it was a good time to get started on it!

I already got the tower, CPU and motherboard. Someone was getting rid of that specific tower and they wanted it gone - it was basically free! (aka a glorified curbalert)

I chose that CPU cause I don't want to spend money on a GPU, yet. Not looking yet into AAA gaming, at most I'll start with my Steam indie backlog 😁

Thanks!

Here's the thing, you can afford a GPU anyway:

Or if you're really determined that you want/need liquid cooling, you should get the newer Liquid Freezer III as another commenter mentioned, then to stay under the total you posted drop the GPU to the RX6600. Or you could check the used market for better options but I don't have familiarity with deal hunting there.
