well the 3600 is a better choice for mostly gaming. It will be good for most tasks, I wouldn't only spent the budget on just the cpu.

well what are your systems specs?

The 3600x is a pretty good choice. What is your budget?

What do you use your pc for? 3600x is good for gaming.

Well for the cpu and platform you are going with it does get pretty expensive. You should change your build to a amd one and you will save much more money for the same specs. As for the power supply these are called ratings and how well the power supply coverts AC power from the wall to DC power for your pc and how efficient it does it. The bronze, gold, and platinum ones are better and more efficient at different loads and when your pc draws more current. The basic 80 Plus rating means that the PSU is rated for at least 80% efficiency at 20% load, 50% load, and 100% load. The 80 Plus Bronze rating means that the PSU is rated for at least 82% efficiency at 20% load, 85% at 50% load, and 82% at 100% load. The 80 Plus Silver rating means that the PSU is rated for at least 85% efficiency at 20% load, 88% at 50% load, and 85% at 100% load. The 80 Plus Gold rating meas that the PSU is rated for at least 87% efficiency at 20% load, 90% at 50% load, and 87% at 100% load. The 80 Plus Platinum rating means that the PSU is rated for at least 90% efficiency at 20% load, 92% at 50% load, and 89% at 100% load.

Asus rog z390-e is a good motherboard and for the power supply a 750 watt unit is good

yes that is the kit that I recommended

what is your budget?

what is your budget? also that motherboard the msi tomahawk max is for amd and not intel.

yes building a system like this without having a good audience is basically a waste

well you have to get the exact same type of ram so that there will not be any issues and mismatching is not good and is just asking for trouble.

This kit from g skill is pretty good https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232880

yes thats more than enough

what are your pc specs?

if most of the data is used for games then I would go with a hdd as you can get alot more storage for cheap, games take up alot of space

yes all the way up to the current version then you should be all good to put your 3700x in. Just follow the notes under each bios version it says what things are needed before updating to the new bios version

yes

no it is on your motherboard manufacturer website so gigabyte in your case

Here are some good options GeForce GTX 1660 GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER you can get the msi rtx 2060 for $50 more

for your cpu, if you don't plan on overclocking the be quiet shadow rock 3 is a good cooler. But since you don't have a set budget the x63 gives you the best performance. As for the gpu it does not need any extra cooling at all the triple fans that come with it are good already.

what is your budget?

what is your budget? the rx 5700xt is a good card
