Critique my PC build? (au.pcpartpicker.com)

Dad wants a new PC. He's considering spending way-too-much on an Alienware, so I figured I'd build him something better+cheaper.

I've built a couple PCs before, but never anything this high-end or expensive so I'd very much appreciate some feedback from an experienced community.

Your memory choice is a bit odd considering the other parts you've specced here. Generally DDR5-6000 CL30 is what you want to shoot for with 7000 series AM5. It's also highly unlikely that a gen5 NVMe drive is necessary or will be noticeable in what he's doing, a good gen4 drive is usually more than sufficient and the money you save can go towards improving the RAM.

That seems like a great suggestion, thanks. I'll see what I can balance there.
