Have already picked out a ram set and case (change if you like), the m.2 i already have, but feel free to suggest changes, would prefer it to be a microAtx build 

Thanks for the help

Do you have a budget? Do you have a preference toward processor platform?

The ones I picked out have better timings. You chose 3000 c16, I picked c15. c15 has lower latency, better for Ryzen.

Those are 10 bucks more and are a little bit better too. Plus RGB.

if i were to overclock the chip will the stock cooler be enough? is the power supply have enough wattage?

The PSU should be fine. And the 2600X can handle some overclock on the stock cooler, I did it before I got my AIO. I don't think there's really much a difference in overclocking the Ryzen processors as they do it pretty well by themselves (even tho I do, not even sure why lol).

ended up spending the extra 10 for the rgb couldt help myself lol. thanks for the help!
