Get a CX550 Or just the RM550x. Get the non X there is a lot of good B450 boards. There is 1660(Ti) or used GPU.

First question, are you a person or a bot?

[Herman Mcpootis]

B450 steel legend/tomahawk instead of aorus gaming 5, 550w RMx, a ryzen 2600 instead of the 2700x and non-RGB 3000mhz ram.

Do you need it all to be at Amazon?

 

Here's a first pass. Will work on Monitor in a minute.

How about your local shops?

Get non-RGB memory, unless you really want the RGB.

 

Get a 500GB SSD for windows and a 1TB HDD for games and media, should be cheaper. Can always add more storage later if needed.

 

Get a CX or TXM PSU, not RMX.

 

Motherboard is perhaps a bit overkill, unless you will be overclocking.

That's actually a good monitor at a solid price. So that's a good option.

Yeah you wouldn't need to anyway if you are going to get a ryzen 2600x or 2700x. Get a good B450 board.

 

Also with a 590 or 1660 you will not need a 2700x, I would go for a ryzen 5 2600 or 2600x.

There's "set an option in BIOS and hit Save" levels of Overclocking, then there's things like Liquid Nitrogen. With the right choices, it's just a few BIOS settings you can find a youtube video to tell you what to set.

Do you want it all shipped via Amazon? That's important for suggestions, as there is price differences between sellers.

Can drop prices a bit in a few spots, but this'll do you really well. Probably want to add an extra case fan, though.

System will play everything at 1080p for years. GPU will need an upgrade in about 3 years, if you get into other games. Also gives you 1 TB of NVMe storage, so you have plenty of space. Good PSU. 

 

One sec, it's still showing Mail In Rebates, which you won't be worrying about.
