"Spaceship" Mk. II - AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, Asus ROG Z11 Mini ITX Tower
Never built a PC before, but thought it was a good time to get started on it!
I already got the tower, CPU and motherboard. Someone was getting rid of that specific tower and they wanted it gone - it was basically free! (aka a glorified curbalert)
I chose that CPU cause I don't want to spend money on a GPU, yet. Not looking yet into AAA gaming, at most I'll start with my Steam indie backlog đ
I'm just repeating what many others have already said, but for this setup you really don't need a liquid cooler. A simple air cooler would more than suffice and would save you like $100-$120. Additionally, it looks like you're paying a premium for an SFX power supply when an ATX power supply would fit. SFX power supplies are super cool in that they can pack so much power in a tiny size. But you wouldn't benefit from that in this case.
After changing the above, perhaps you could then fit a decent GPU into your budget.
