rx 580=5500XT. rx 580 uses more power and has less features but will pertform the same as 5500XT,

that ssd is miles fater than the WD green.

Little better case and psu.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Depends on what else OP is doing, something like video editing or heavy multitasking, a 2600 will pull ahead. 

yes but not by much. 3300x is closer to 2600 in multithreaded that you may think.

And its gaming performance is identical to a 3600. Trouble is it isn't in stock anywhere.

if you can find the 1600 af (12nm version) or 2600 for a similar price then those may be a better option
