First of all: Change the power supply. You don't want it to power a high-end GPU.

Second of all, here's a good alternative to what you picked: http://www.ebuyer.com/714726-msi-radeon-r9-390-gaming-8gb-gddr5-dual-link-dvi-d-hdmi-displayport-pci-e-r9-390-gaming-8g

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 Motherboard: MSI PRESTIGE X570 CREATION
AIO: Corsair H150i Pro RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic PSU: Corsair RM850x White
