Seems to me to be a pretty standard modern gaming rig.  I don’t see any issues.  The nvme is a choice and the PSU is a choice.  It might be possible to save some with slower stuff on storage, as nvme currently doesn’t do a whole lot over sata6 for gaming.  There’s An argument for it though regarding future stuff.  PSUs I know nothing about, though there is a tier list in the PSU subsection compiled by people that do.  Your PSU might be on it.  I have a suspicion that the 3700x will be longer lasting than the 3600, but it’s just a suspicion and nothing has happened yet.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Looks good. Might one to add a cooler if you find the stock one is too loud or hot.

One possible option is to upgrade to the 3600x. It comes with a slightly better cooler.  Depends on price difference though.  The cooler isn’t ALL that much better and the chip is nearly the same.  It would have to be real close.
