This is currently what I have picked out.

I already have the 2700x, it's in my current computer. I was planning to take out my 2700x and put my 1500x in my current pc and give it to my sister.

I just wanted another persons opinion to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong, or if there are any better parts I could get.

Looks good maybe you could upgrade ram to 3600 speed, it's usually not that much more.

What are you going to be using the computer for? 32GB of ram would be overkill for a gaming PC, 16GB 3600mhz would be my recommendation for a gaming PC. If you already have the 2700x you can mark it as purchased so it's not added to the budget. Samsung SSDs are overpriced you can get a 500GB Nvme drive for only a little more than that Sata SSD, I personally wouldn't get less than 500GB of SSD storage. Otherwise not a bad list, I would just like to recommend you wait until September/October when the new CPUs and GPUs drop otherwise you will regret it.

the 2700x is power hungry, you need a better motherboard and a better cooler.

i've added cheaper ram and a much faster ssd.

What do you mean? The B450 I Aorus Pro Wifi is a more than capable board for the 2700x and if I remember correctly people who tested the boards found that the VRMs and WiFi module on the Aorus board are better than the ones on the Fatal1ty.

that is incorrect, regarding the vrms at least. it can barely power a 2600x. the 2700x is much more power hungry.
