In need of an educated opinion on this build

og_

Hey everyone! Thanks for showing interest in this thread. Recently, I've been contemplating on upgrading my ~3 year old pc, so I chose a couple of parts I think will do just fine (let it be known that every part I listed below will be bought brand new, with the exception of the GPU, which I will keep from my old build).

I aim to mainly play games and sometimes record footage of me doing so. I may upgrade to a better GPU in the future (most likely from the new NVIDIA 3000 series). 
I am open to any suggestions/improvements (mainly looking at the PSU, which I believe can be optimized).

Thank you!

everything looks fine except for this

you should reduce budget in other parts and up your GPU, maybe step down to 3300x and grab a cheaper board.

and 500gb SSD should be enough for OS + a few games.

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately
