It looks pretty good to me. One thing I might consider changing though is your storage. 500 GB won't last long if you plan on playing more intense games, which I'm assuming you are since you're getting an RTX graphics card. Maybe consider getting a smaller SSD (120 or 240 GB) as your boot drive and to store a few games if you want them to run fast, and then get a 1 or 2 TB HDD as well so you have more storage space. I have a 120 GB SSD and a 2 TB HDD, and I haven't noticed any issues playing games from the HDD to be honest.

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Don't go intel for now.

 

Ryzen 5 3600 and a B450 will be a more affordable solution that's also just as fast

I agree. One note though, B450 boards aren't compatible with 3rd generation Ryzen CPUs out of the box (without a BIOS update) unless you get an upgraded one like the Asrock B450 Steel Legend. You might be better off to get a Ryzen 7 2700x. It has more cores and works just as well as the Ryzen 5 3600 for around $20 less. However, if you want to get a Ryzen 5 3600 and do a BIOS update, you'll have to get a B450 board that has a BIOS flashback feature, or use a 2nd gen AMD CPU to update the BIOS before you put in a 3rd gen CPU.

What do you think about this guys? reckon it will work correctly? image.thumb.png.e159a9637114dc8eefa27ad034e8b56d.png

And if you can guys, pls explain to me (idiot) whats this about: image.png.65b51755ef8c59e7273311e3246927e6.png

Thanks :)

Those parts will work together, yes. Good choice on the case, it has decent airflow.

I agree with other commenters and would suggest you look at a Ryzen 3600 build. Pair it with an MSI B450

MAX motherboard, those support Ryzen 3 out of the box without the need to flash your BIOS. Here's a build with those components with a better graphics card for the same price. Just to give you an idea what alternatives there are.
 


BTW: What will you be using this PC for? If gaming is a priority: what monitor do you use (resolution and refresh rate)?
