Here's an idea. Assuming you already have a high refresh rate monitor - this build could also handle 1440p if that's your thing.
 

If you are gaming at 1080p a 2070 Super would probably suffice. If you are doing other tasks than gaming like video/photo editing or streaming frequently you could consider upgrading the CPU to a 3700x. 700W PSU is overkill, but it's a decent unit and was relatively cheap, that's why I chose it.

i would go with the 3600x or 32gb ram because it fits into the budget

Nah bro neither of those are worth it. Get a ryzen 7 3700x and get a 2 tb hhd with the m.2 or a x570 board instead of the b450 board

the extra ram does nothing for gaming, and he can overclock to match 3600x speeds.

You get a cooler with the 3600. There is only a 200Hz difference in clock speed. There will be hardly any difference when gaming. Maybe a couple of fps difference. The 3600 is also around $32 cheaper so you could still buy a decent air cooler like the Arctic Freezer 34 esports or Deepcool Gammaxx 400 etc.
