hi a year ago i built my first gaming PC and I loved it but unfortunately i lost it in a fire two months ago (stupid kid with a bottle rocket at least they called the fire dept but part of my home was destroyed). My it rest in peace. so i decided to build a new one. i am an idiot when it comes to paying parts. my first one i got the list from someone here. you helped me pick it out. so i am back to ask for help since last year i have gotten a job that requires me to use several design programs adobe, sketch, etc. and i had to add more storage. this computer is used for Work, gaming, and personal use.I need something with a lot of storage that can handle being played for long hours, I want to be able to up date it with more storage or if i need to replace parts. i want a desktop. the parts are list below of what i had before i added more storage. please note it was only 1tb more of storage. i would like a different case the last one didn't have a port for camera memory cards or cds (i know super old but that is how my work gives me files sometime). any help would be appreciated. please do not be jerk cause i am not knowledgeable when it comes to paying part.s

I would recommend spending the extra 17$ for a 3600x and the extra 40$ for a 2070 super, but other than that, it seems like a well rounded build for your budget. Personally I’m not a huge fan of be quiet! coolers, as I feel they tend to be a little pricey for the performance, but your thermal solution is up to you. I’m sorry to hear about the fire, and I hope the build goes well!

That's a HORRIBLY overpriced board. The X570 Prime P is cheaper and several times better
The 3600 is also cheaper and about 20% better than the 2600X. The Dark Rock 4 is also pointless overkill. What you should do is get a 3700X instead of a 2600X + Cooler and use the stock Wraith Prism - it's very decent and won't give you issues with a stock 3700X.
The SSD is overpriced - the Crucial P1 is the same price and better
The SeaGate drive is mediocre and expensive for what you get - a WD Black would be my pick
The 2070 non-Super is not worth it. It's slower than the cheaper 2060 Super and 5700 non-XT. Either get a 2070 Super or 5700 XT for that money

Save 100 dollars and get a 5700xt that beats it in every category except ray tracing (obviously since 5700xt doesn’t support it yet), and cheaper ssd saves you money. Get a 3600, and then maybe an arctic freezer 34 esports duo cooler

but yes you can change the case if you do not like it? but why change? it has really good airflow.

your motherboard supports 6 HDD/ 6 sata SSDS and 1x m.2ssd. you can add more storage anytime
