Building PC- Help!

Hi everyone! So I'm currently building my second PC, and would like confirmation on if this build should work or not. So my currently idea is:

Motherboard: ASRock B450M PRO4 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard 

CPU: Ryzen 3 3300X

GPU: Asus TUF Gaming GeForce GTX 1650 Super Overclocked 4GB

RAM: Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 16GB (8GBx2)

PSU: Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White Certified PSU

Case: DIYPC DIY-F2-O Black/Orange USB 3.0 Micro-ATX Mini Tower Gaming Computer Case 

Storage: 1TB HDD and 512GB SSD

 

I'm all ears for getting different parts! This is my idea at the moment. I'm making this my budget PC. I do know that with the current parts, bottlenecking will occur... I'm just not sure if it'll be significant. I'm here for suggestions, and to learn! :D

PS: I'm well aware that 1080p will be most realistic for gaming with current parts.

 

Budget (including currency): $500~ US Dollars

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite, COD, Final Fantasy, Light video/photo editing

On the motherboard, make sure it supports 3rd gen ryzen.

 

On the gpu , its better to get an rx 580 instead

 

On the psu, you might want to get a better one as that one isn't that reliable. 

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

Thank you for the reply!

So I hear a lot about how important a good psu is in a build. My question to that is how do you know if the product you're looking at is a "good" one? Are there brand names out there that have been known to be reliable, color of the psu (white, black, bronze, silver, etc.) or is there something that you look for in the description of the product?

So I actually thought the same thing (make sure it supports 3rd gen ryzen). In the reviews for the motherboard, early-mid 2019 comments said that it didn't support the 3000 series. Then there are reviews in early 2020 that they updated the bios to support the 3000 series. I'm pretty much hoping that they've updated the BIOs now to support it. I'm just not 100% positive.

GPU, yeah I was also thinking about the rx 580. I just didn't like how hot it gets.

So I'm confused on determining a reliable PSU. I know there are ways to tell, but I'm not sure what to look for when looking at one.
