Hello! I have chosen some parts for a PC based around a monitor I currently have. I have a 4k monitor and the games I’d like to play on it and the current PC I have isn’t cutting it anymore unfortunately.

These are the parts I’ve chosen, I already have 24GB of RAM, just wondering if there’s anything cheaper I can get to lower the price and get similar performance. I don’t have much experience in building PCs but I’ve done a bit of research
Currently would like to play Helldivers 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3 on the 4k monitor with no issue.
The CPU seems like overkill. You could go with a 5800X and save about $100. And you could take a Radeon 7800XT which can be had for about $500. That should handle most stuff at 4k and would come out considerably cheaper.
AM4 is an EoL socket. If OP ever plans to* upgrade the processor, an AM5 CPU + motherboard is a better choice.
* Not “just in case,” but will actually do it at some point before buying a whole new computer.
Good point.
