Is this a good build? I put it together myself. HUGE UPGRADE from Integrated Graphics.

If you have a micro center close you may be able to get into the ultra 7 270k+ for about the same price and get 32gb ram

Cheaper, with better upgradeability and performance:
- changed cpu to Ryzen 5 7600x. Under 1500, the gpu isn't strong enough to warrant a Ryzen 7 or i7. The AM5 platform has better upgradeability than the lga 1700 and lga 1851 platforms, so I went with Ryzen instead of intel.
- Changed ram to a dual channel kit. This will improve performance a bunch, since the data bandwidth of the ram is doubled.
- Changed motherboard to an am5 one.
- Changed gpu to rx 9060 xt 16gb. Similar performance, but double the vram which is nice for future proofing and higher resolutions.
You could swap the 16gb ram kit for a 32gb kit as well
