I have put together this. Anything I should change? Was thinking swapping out the 3600 for the 3300x? 

 

I am aware of the new b5 boards coming out.

 

Many thanks

Looks good to me.

Might be a good idea to switch to 3300x if you only game.

It's just 2 cores less.

[Oswin]

looks good enough to me, good luck on your build.

[Applefreak]

Yes, I would get a 3300X and if you have more money to spend in a year or two, you can upgrade to whatever ryzen 4000 series will fit your budget and needs. Otherwise a pretty decent build overall.

the motherboard you picked is bad and it's not actually at that price anyway

Is it not a better idea to wait for B550 should he want to avoid the hassle when upgrading to Ryzen 4k.
