I was recently blessed with a 2k budget for a pc build of my choice. I've been looking through youtube tutorials and build guides on pcpartpicker and have come up with this as my final choices.

I'm a year 9 student and the PC will be mostly dedicated to gaming and maybe a little schoolwork.

Any suggestions to my choices?

I always recommend www.pyronic.al re questions like this. The maintainer posts regularly over on GP if you have more questions for an audience with more of a gaming bent.

newegg is fine be using them for years with no issues. if you want to make sure you are covered by the consumer guarantees act use the newegg nz site.

The NVME drive you have included doesnt have any DRAM cache and used TLC NAND

For a boot drive i would spend a little more

100% there is no value in 3600 vs 3200 memory (for the type of gaming this rig is likely to be asked to do) and yes, that $60 could be better spent on a bigger/better boot drive.
