Things to note would be that I recently purchased this monitor. https://www.acer.com/ac/en/CA/content/model/UM.KX1AA.003 

I bought that before I knew that I was going to be building a PC but I've had for too long to return so I'm stuck with 75Hz. In the PCPP it says there is some compatibility issues with the PSU and the motherboard possibly, is this something I should worry about? I picked the x570 board so I can future proof myself a bit incase I ever want another m.2 drive. Same applies with the 2060 instead of a 1660 Super for just 1080p gaming. I usually play rocket league, shooters and some single player games.

 

Do you think that any of this is overkill for what I'll be using it for or is there anything I should change?

The only difference between X570 and B450 is PCI-gen 4 which the ssd and gpu aren’t even compatible with. You can also save a good amount of money.

No need to spend so much for 1080p gaming

a powercolor red devil can handle 1080p 165hz gaming

 

 

Also, evga psu comes with black cables so no need to buy sleeved extensions or anything like that

I just want to have room to move up to a nicer display in the future without bottlenecking myself.
