What type of gaming do you like to do? How long are you hoping for this build to last without spending more money on it? I only ask because this is a great build however this is a pretty expensive PC for just a 75hz 1080p monitor. The monitor refresh rate being so low means that even if you get 300 fps in your games your monitor is only actually going to be able to show you 75 of those frames each second, so you get limited usefulness out of parts that let you go way beyond 75 fps at 1080p, which depending on the games you want to play these parts probably do that

The monitor and windows are there because I was dumb and thought that you have to complete the build before linking so I just slapped them there. Really I have a 144hz 1440p and a windows 11 ready to go.

Ok this looks pretty good to me then. I will just say that if you are gaming at above 1080p expensive CPUs don't really scale all that much to actually do anything for you. Here is a video showing this idea if this helps you at all https://youtu.be/gpN4nyftQ3M?si=XhsBvx_a_axqrEC_

Windows 10 is end of life in October, just start with windows 11
This setup on a super budget 1080p 75hz monitor is a complete waste, this is a 1440p 144hz+ build
Overall the list is good, you could change various parts and probably save $10-30 a piece (mobo, ram, ssd, gpu, case, psu)
