Hi all! I'm a little stupid and want to be certain that this custom PC isn't utterly borked by my spaghetti brain.
Looking to upgrade from laptop to PC. Hoping to get a good mid-spec desktop for the price stated above, rated for FFXIV, SWTOR, Baldur's Gate 3, and Console Emulation - as well as Stable Diffusion image generation (requires Geforce RTX). Could I make this more balanced? Large amounts of storage necessitated by my hoarding tendencies.

CPU = Intel® Core™ i5-13600K - 14 Core [6P @ 3.50GHz-5.10GHz / 8E @ 2.60GHz-3.90GHz] - 24MB

M2nd = 1TB Seagate Firecuda 520 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD - 5000MB/s Read & 4850MB/s Write Single Drive
RAM = 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4/3200MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX Memory

3060 to 4070 is a big jump
The CPU is similar performance but a little less cores. If it’s just for gaming you won’t feel this too much, 11900 still a great cpu

I see. Can that be customised? I'd like a bit more ram and different SSD

RAM and SSD are easy to upgrade anyway so could always just buy them separately
