Upgrading.

I've been talking with a few people on here about upgrading my CPU, Motherboard and RAM.
I'm looking to stay around $350 USish.

I've been thinking of something similar to:

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($174.15 @ Walmart) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($109.99 @ B&H) 
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory  ($82.37 @ Newegg) 
Total: $366.51
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Any suggestions around this price point?  I'll be saving and trying to upgrade my GPU in a month or so.

The RAM is a great choice, the aorus elite i just purchased the x570 version of, and the ryzen provides the best value at the mid end CPU's. Couldn't change your mind if i wanted to.

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X   COOLER: Kraken X63   GPU: Zotac Trinity RTX 3090    MOBO:  Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite  

RAM: 32Gb G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600 CL 16   STORAGE: Viper Gen 4 1Tb SSD VP4100 +Viper NVME SSD 512Gb + Seagate 1 TB HDD 7200rpm  

PSU: NZXT 850 watt 80+ Gold  CASE: NZXT 510 Elite   MONITOR: Primary: LG 48" CX OLED--Secondary Gigabyte Aorus FI27Q-P 1440p 165Hz IPS

the aorus is not as good as "msi b450 tomahawk max" or "msi b450 A-pro max" but it can manage

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Looks like I'll be waiting for the new CPUs and motherboards to drop in late May/June.
