All but one looks good from my angle. My only issue there is the B450M Chipset paired with 3rd Gen Ryzen, for first boot, it may have an issue, but after a BIOS update, it should work flawlessly

In order of how bad it is

Weak power delivery that can't even let the CPU run at max speed with stock settings and lacking features in general.

RTX 2070 is usually surpassed by the 2060S and RX 5700 in value, while premium models like the Strix eat up budget unnecessarily. You could go with middle of the bunch custom cards like the EVGA XC Ultra or Asus Dual for example.

Get the non-X if you need to save money to improve other things, the stock cooler improvement on the 3600X is not worth it as it's still weaker than most 120mm fan towers by a decent margin.

Prefer 3600MHz and CL16 or 17 for gaming, even CL18 is better than 3200MHz CL16 you have there

rog strix cards you pay premium for rgb, brand name and slight overclocking ability so your throwing your cash if its a budget build which it looks like from that very bad motherboard. PSU also sucks v bad get a rmx or something. The cpu is not worth it over the standard 3600. you probably need a hard drive for games as you shouldnt fill a ssd up or near up as they start to slow down. also i recommend a sabrent rocket or something over the 860.
