What do you think of this build?

I'm trying to build upgrade my pc and I'm wondering if this is looking good so far.  I'll be happy to hear suggestions or improvements to this build.  Amazon states that the monitor has "Large cosmetic imperfections on front bezels. Item will come in original packaging. Packaging will be damaged. " Do you think this monitor is still good to buy for $170?

-i5 9600K sees poor frametime performance, leading to frequent stuttering in the system

-RX 5700 XT is usually within 10% of the 2070 Super's performance, while being $100 cheaper

-Cheaper RAM does exist 

-If you haven't bought Windows yet, you can buy it on eBay for cheaper for around ~$2.

Based on benchmarks, wouldn't the 9600k be giving more fps? I forgot to mention that I will be primarily gaming in this system. So if I go from the 2070s to 5700xt and the 9600k to 3700x, wouldn't the frames be 15-20% lower? I'm not sure on what I should do because I see that the parts I chose give more fps, but everyone recommends me amd. Plus, even though the GPU is cheaper, the CPU is $100 more expensive.

it's not any faster than the 3600 and 3700x in gaming, and the lack of HT means it won't last as long before it starts stuttering and dropping frames.

the 5700XT performs slightly worse than the 2070 super, but you're also paying $100 less for it.

Then go for a R5 3600 instead. Would still be less stuttery than the 9600K.

I haven’t reached my spending limit.  Is there a card significantly better than the 5700xt that is still good bang for buck.
