motherboard can be downgraded to a cheaper b450 with onboard wifi if you don't think you'll need the b550 featureset. depending on the games you play and the resolution you use you can drop the 3600 for a 3100 and get a 1660 super instead of the 1650 super. case is flexible, if you prefer the look of another cheaper case then go ahead and get it, airflow doesnt really matter for this low-power of a build. spending 100 bucks on a windows license is kind of a waste, if you're still a student you can get a free educational license which is identical to home, or get a grey market key off of ebay for 5 bucks

topics i need help on:

my "oops i bought intel right before zen 3 releases" build

good alternatives to the b550-a that i suggested, if you wanna save a few bucks:

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/43BTwP/gigabyte-b450-aorus-pro-wifi-rev-10-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-aorus-pro-wifi-rev-10 has onboard wifi 5 and 2x m.2 slots 

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BHBhP6/msi-b450-gaming-plus-max-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-gaming-plus-max or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XJbCmG/msi-b450-a-pro-max-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-a-pro-max a b450 tomahawk but at the right price point, good vrms and memory support. both are the same aside from display outputs if you use an APU. 

 

also, western digital had their sn550 500gb on sale for 53 bucks last night, that'd be a good cheaper alternative to the sx8200 pro

a 2060 is probably overkill for a 1080p build eh? and would a usb wifi adapter be as good as a pcie one?

A 2060 was made for 1080p, to save cash you can always downgrade, it really isn’t a big deal, I promise, if you aren’t streaming 8k to 16 sources you won’t notice the difference

eh fair enough, i figure a 1650S/1660S would be more than enough though considering theyre effectively a 1060/1070 which hold up well these days
