Any Improvements on this $1200 Build for Ryzen 5 3600

I just built this part list on pcpartpicker with the Ryzen 5 3600 on a B450 motherboard which is adequate for Ryzen 5 3600. Any improvements on this $1200 Build?

Lose the cooler , unless there is an aesthetic reason for it.

 

Go with a B450 Tomahawk or Pro Carbon motherboard.

 

I'd go with an MX500 SSD, instead of that Kingston.

 

And either the 5700 or 5700XT over that 2060 super.

 

PSU... not sure on that one.  I don't dare talk about PSU's or Mr. Guru may ambush me :) (jokes!  But get feedback on that thing).

Here you go. Don't pay $449 for a 2060 Super, it's crazy money:

Same performance, better quality components, cheaper price.

What features?  Do you need those features?  If so, that would be good info to have in the original topic.  If you just think they're neat... skip them and enjoy the horsepower of the 5700.

 

For $50 more, I would to be honest.  Get the 5700XT I mean.

RTX 2060 is kinda an overkill for this build as well as the ROG Strix motherboard. ROG STRIX Motherboards are scams. Also i know you want that RTX 2060 but i see a lot of bottle necking here. I would replace the RTX 2060 with GTX 1070 or 1080 because it would work with this build. If you REALLY want RTX 2060 you need to change the CPU to at least Ryzen 7 3700 or even better Intel i7 9700 or 8700.

The 1080 beats the 2060, so not sure why you suggest that based on your comments.

 

See the build from Meat, that's a great balanced build.  With SATA or NVMe SSD, either way.

I'll get a 2.5 inch ssd drive from Samsung. And really 1080>2060 XD that's a bigger of a bottleneck.
