OK gotcha. Is your microcenter running the 12700k + Asus tuf mobo? https://www.microcenter.com/product/641917/intel-core-i7-12700k-alder-lake-36ghz-twelve-core-lga-1700-boxed-processor-heatsink-not-included
16g of ram https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N3HT852?tag=georiot-us-default-20&th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=pcg-us-5282195243663615000-20&geniuslink=true (if you need more by a second set)
Wait for new amd gpu three days. Rumor has it they are very good price for performance. But this is a great card: https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-MERC319-6950XT-Graphics/dp/B0B6GKX8MD/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=1BQ6ONGZNGFPO&keywords=6950xt&qid=1670729168&sprefix=6950xt%2Caps%2C196&sr=8-2 Id honestly just buy something like this then sell and buy a new gpu when you upgrade to 4k. Prices change quite substantially over a year. You can reply to this or pm me if you want my opinion on the new cards if you don't follow this stuff.
Tell the people at microcenter what gpu you have and have them recommend a case. Don't spend more than 220.
Grab the deep cool 620 at microcenter to throw them a bone for the cpu mobo combo and case help (https://www.amazon.com/DeepCool-AK620-High-Performance-Dual-Tower-Dissipation/dp/B09CSXS3X4)
Psu: https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-heatsinks-Axial-tech-Technology-Certification/dp/B08X7BKLWS Depends on what gpu you end up with. DO NOT GO CHEAP ON THIS ESPECIALLY IF YOU CAVE AND BUY THE 4090 GPU. Check the tier list https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ before you buy.
Grab a 980 pro 1 tb and get other m.2 ssds to supplement if you need it https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-MZ-V8V1T0B-AM-980-SSD/dp/B08V83JZH4
