Hi, I will be building my first PC soon, and I'm looking to get some feedback/help on the parts selection and more. Here are the parts I have currently selected.

CPU - Ryzen 5 3600
GPU - EVGA 2070 super black
Mobo - Gigabyte B450-i aorus pro wifi
Ram - Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8gb 3200mhz cl16 

Cooler - Corsair H60 (I'm a little stuck here. My case only supports up to 61mm height coolers)

Case - Silverstone SG13
SSD - Samsung 970 evo plus 500gb(or WD black)

HDD - Seagate Barracuda 2tb 7200rpm
PSU - Seasonic Focus gold 650w fully modular
Monitor - AOC C24G1

Headphones - Hyperx cloud alpha s
Mouse - G502 Lightspeed (purchased)
KB - Steelseries Apex 7 TKL (purchased)

 

I'm going for ITX as will be moving to a new country in about a month and I do prefer a smaller form factor, but the size is flexible and I don't really mind going matx or even atx. I will be using this PC for mostly gaming with some video editing, 3d modeling and more, but mostly 1080p 144hz gaming with graphics set to max/high for games, and the games I want to play are mainly Apex legends, Borderlands 3, Destiny 2, Pubg, R6 siege, so mainly FPS games. My overall budget for this PC is about 1300$, and I will be buying the parts in Indonesia's online store Tokopedia. Currently, my build is a little overbudget so I would like to reduce the price. I have considered reducing the GPU to a RX5700XT, reducing the SSD to a 250g and hdd to 1tb. How does this build sound overall and is there anything I should change on it? Also please let me know which areas I can reduce the price in, and I would also like a cooler recommendation that fits AM4 and is under 61mm in height. Thank you in advance!

Ah thank you for that. I forgot to mention, the import prices here are pretty ridiculous. I haven't done the complete calculations, but I believe I'm paying about 200~300$ more than the US prices here. From what I remember, if I were in the US, can get a 2080 super at the same price.

Case - Silverstone SG13

A man of taste.

I will say, the use of an SFF PSU makes building slightly easier in this case, if there are options available to you.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll try to look for a SFX psu, but I believe I do have to pay a premium for them. 

I don't mind going a little larger, just that it'll be more difficult for me to transport it when I'm moving and dorm may not allow it. But I might pick up a cheapo laptop because I'll probably need a laptop for university needs instead of relying on an ipad that I currently use.

Don't know what country you're in, but pcpartpicker should give you an idea. Silverstone makes some quality budget units.

Thank you for the replies. I have another question regarding fit & finish. The cooler height limit is 61mm, and I found the Be Quiet! Shadow Rock LP. It has a height of 75.4mm but that's with a 25mm thick fan on top of it. If I remove the fan it should have a height of 50.4mm and it should fit. Should I go for it or use something that actually will fit with a fan on it?

I'm in Indonesia, and thanks for the link I think I found one that I like. Corsair SF600.

Yes. Of course with an SFF PSU you get a bit more room. Start with the stock cooler of the 3600 and see how much room you have left, or, since the smaller PSU will allow the stock cooler to breathe more, you might find satisfying results without the need for a new cooler. Just make sure the PSU is fan side up so that it doesn't fight for airflow.
