Other: I'm a photographer who has never actually owned decent equipment to do my job effectively. (I'm eternally "making do.") I'm trying to start with a solid build with upgrade paths in mind, and would love to work towards my own NAS at some point down the line.

So after years of watching every single LTT videos (twice) to study for the moment, I'm ready to start buying equipment and building my own computer. Here's my current "shopping list" and I'm really worried about compatibility. I'm also kind of debating as to whether or not I should wait for for the Ryzen 7 5800, but I've also been sitting on my plans for too long and just want to get started.
CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 3700X
MB: ASRock B550 STEEL LEGEND
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1660
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) Series 32GB (4 x 8GB)
CPU cooler: CORSAIR iCUE H150i RGB PRO XT, 360mm Radiator, Triple 120mm
Case: NZXT H510 (white/black)
O/S SSD: Silicon Power 1TB NVMe PCIe
Storage SSD: Silicon Power Ace A55 2.5" 1TB
Additional HDD: WD Blue WD20EZAZ 2TB 3.5"
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 550 GA
Monitor: SAMSUNG LC24F390FHNXZA 24"

I would also like to add a tasteful amount of ARGB as I have a theme in mind, but am completely lost as to what to look for, how to set it up properly, what software I should look into, etc. Help here would be HUGE!
Thanks!
