If I should bump the budget a little more, I'm all ears.

Here's a list I curated using PC Partpicker, which automatically finds the lowest prices for these parts from a selection of merchants. I tried to match what was in stock at Memory Express, and found the lowest prices online to ask them to price match/beat. Using the comments above from snowball, I bumped the memory down to 16GB, and found a better looking case.
This PC would have the same or better performance than that MSI you showed, it just won't look as good. You can add some extra RGB fans if you want to look cooler, but I did not include it for this build.
Memory Express charges $50 for assembly and test, which is quite cheap.
EDIT: Forgot the RAM.
EDIT2: use the Memory Express SKU numbers (MX bla bla) for easy searching. Also, Windows is $10 on eBay, don't buy from the official store unless you really want a non-gray-market one.
