What is the frequency of your RAM kit? AM5's ideal range is DDR5-6000MHz with low latency, RAM kits. You didn't specify the make and model of your case. I would have added a secondary SSD, smaller in size for the operating system, while the larger drive can be used for your gaming library. Overall build looks good. Thread moved from PC Gaming to Systems section.
That is a great build right there. You should be good gaming at any resolution as long as you keep a close eye on your VRAM usage from time to time. It's a pretty good first time build. I suggest adding a Xbox Series X controller to it if you are just a casual gamer like me.
However, we need to determine which games, along with their specific resolutions and settings.
