Hello,

 

Better for less :

If it's just for gaming, a 3600 with a B450 MSI Max would save around 150 more dollars.

do you have currently a gpu? if not, you'll need one, as the 3700x doesn't have integrated graphics.

 

I would suggest going with @Meganter's build, much better value for money.

Do you have a gpu to use ? as no onboard graphics with that cpu. 

 

A B450-A PRO MAX or Tomahawk MAX over that X570 Gaming Plus.

 

A cheap NVMe SSD like the Crucial P1 or WD Blue SN550 over the expensive Samsung if you are just gaming.

 

Swap the psu to a 650W. The RMx is better.

@Meganter Thanks so much for your input I now planning on completely using your configuration besides the case, switching to a H510. Thanks, I might just switch a a 3600.

Thanks for all of your help.
