Wanted to get ideas/input on this.

I got the CPU for $700 from a friend and wanted to see what I can do with this bad boy.

What do you guys think about the above?

RAM and PSU seem...a bit excessive. Perhaps pull funds from there for a 2000series GPU?

Someone smarter than I could comment.

$4500 on gaming build? Money to burn?

Closer to $3200 apparently because he got the CPU for $700.

CPU and mobo are also excessive for a gaming build, but if you can use the hardware for other stuff it might be worth it.

For a pure gaming build a Ryzen CPU with a RTX 2080 super or Ti and 16 or 32 GB of ram would have been a better investement.

Yeah, echo'ing what others have said. Scale back the RAM and especially that Mobo and use the money for a better video card. For a gaming build that's the single most important component and the area that would probably be weakest in that system. You can probably save $ on most of those individual components without losing any performance.
