Been gaming my whole life on consoles, finally making the switch over to a PC. I have no idea what I am doing with this build, but here is what I have so far. Any suggestions? Where am I going wrong?
I know it’s not budget friendly but probably going to pay microcenter to put it together… or do you guys think a first timer could manage?
Will mostly be playing Gray Zone Warfare, Tarkov, and GTA 6 (if it ever comes out) on this PC. Looking for great performance but budget is 2700-3100.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hello Review-Fit, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

If i were you id have someone build it for you, or a prebuilt. Thats what i did for my first build
Its ok could be cheaper and there is no new 9800x3d for 399
Just a heads up, that 9800x3d listing on Amazon for 399 is a scam. You have to look at the seller. The real cost is 489. But anyways, I would do something like this build
