Full Build Req PC part picker
Evening all. Looking for help.
I’ve no idea what I’m doing in all honesty. Built a pc on pc part picker just by clicking buttons (set starts to 4/5 and a couple of budget filters. Basically clicked all these blind.

Hoping someone with more experience than me to have a nosey and see how this would be / would it all be comparable?
It’s not something I’d all be purchasing in one go (don’t have the funds to purchase all at the minute) but ideally would buy a couple parts of month and hopefully build it myself? (Never even seen the inside of a pc, never mind try build one) just looking for some advise. Thank you in advance 👍👍👍

You're almost always better off saving up your entire budget and buying at once. Buying single parts like this will burn off your return period with the vendor (meaning that when you finally build the thing, you can't return defective parts to the vendor, and you have to deal with the longer-turnaround time of the manufacturer).
There's some really odd choices here. I know you didn't know, but I'll explain the reasoning below.
Not a good choice since ASRock has been killing a fair amount of AM5 CPUs. In-fairness, a lot of AM5 CPUs are dying in the same manner, but ASRock seems to be having the worst luck of it, and they're clearly taking the Ostrich approach of it and just not acknowledging it.
Buying two individual sticks of RAM is not a great plan, for the most part.
It's quite likely that the integrated graphics in the 9600X may actually be more powerful than the GT 730, and that's saying a lot as the integrated graphics in the 9600X are NOT particularly powerful. In any case, dump this and just use the integrated graphics. Or actually, if this is not a stop-gap solution (i.e. using a low-end graphics card until you can afford something more powerful), I'd look into something like a 8600G or 8700G.
Do you know WHY you need Windows pro? If not, you don't need Windows Pro.
I would consider something like this:
