Do you really need a 1TB SSD and a 2TB HDD?

Also go with NVMe, a sabrent rocket is 110$ on amazon

Go with a r5 3600 and a slightly better b450 board, and a cheap 20-30$ tower cooler

Also I'd go with a cheaper PSU

3600 is a decent bit faster, the stock cooler is still pretty bad, and deep cool makes some nice cheap RGB coolers, Mobo is better, supports out of the box Zen 2, and looks much better, m.2 drive is 5x as fast, you probably won't need 3TB of storage, the gigabyte XT is cheaper, has same GPU thermals (at 40dba), but has cooler VRMs. Case is fine, and PSU is cheaper, and comes with a 30$ MIR. EVGA tends to have good customer service

What's your monitor's resolution/refresh rate?

 

Should get a Coolermaster MB511 instead so you have a mesh front for airflow.

 

Can easily save some money on your PSU

 

Throw in an Arctic Xtreme cooler, it's a $35 dual tower, or just buy it at a later date.

Don't buy before Black Friday...and honestly, I'd just pick from the stuff that's on sale. That way you either save the most, or get the best parts for your budget.

You're on a good track though, you get the basics.

Honestly, if you really want to go for the 2600, grab it off NewEggs eBay page. It's like $109. I don't think it'll really drop lower than that.

Don't lock yourself in to a specific model though, or you could easily miss a better one that's on a deep discount.
