Budget (including currency): $1100 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Web browsing, Pillars of Eternity, Pathfinder: Kingmakers, Diablo III, maybe WoW and some FPSes like Rainbow Six Siege in the future.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

Processor: Ryzen 3600x (purchased)

Motherboard: Here is where I am facing some indecision. I am currently deciding between an ASRock B450M PRO4, an MSI PRO-M2 MAX, and an ASUS B450-A/CSM. I am currently leaning towards the ASUS as Micro Center has it in stock now, where as for the first two I'd have to wait for Amazon/Newegg to replenish their stock for them on June 3. 

Memory: Team T-Force Delta RGB 16 GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3000 (purchased)

StorageIntel 660p Series 1.02 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

Video Card: My second area of indecision: I am currently deciding between an ASRock Radeon RX 5700 8 GB CHALLENGER D OC and an XFX - AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT RAW II PRO 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card.

CaseNZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: EVGA 500 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

 

I am going to purchase the Corsair K55 bundle off of Best Buy, so peripherals are not needed. This will be my first PC build, and I am looking to buy ASAP. My monitor is an AOC Agon AG273QCX 27" Curved Gaming Monitor, 2K QHD, FreeSync 2 DisplayHDR 400, 144Hz, 1ms. I currently use it for Xbox gaming and as my room TV.

The ASRock would be the best out of those options. Most MSI Am4 boards are pretty good too though. Are you sure that all of those are sold with the newest bios installed?

Are you sure you need an NVME ssd and not a normal sata ssd?

I do not know if they are sold with the newest BIOS installed. How can I check? As for the SSD, I probably do not need an NVMe SSD, but I went for that one as it was only a couple dollars more than the SATA SSD that I was looking to get, which was a Crucial MX500, so I decided to shell out for it.
