Hello everyone I am currently moving from consoles to a PC gaming rig. After making several PCs on PCPartPicker I've come up with this list

And would like some advice from more experienced builders and enthusiasts.
I am willing to here criticism if it means me not wasting money. Thank you in advance and I look forward to y'all's comments.

For gaming rig you don't need i7 but i5 would be plenty. CX series does not use a good quality components. Better get good quality PSU. This is tier 1 PSU from XFX.
