If possible get either a regular cheaper sata drive like a wd blue or mx500. The sa400 is not a good ssd.

The motherboard you chose is well simply put terrible and maxes out at a ryzen 3600 due to bad vrms.

Case wise get a mesh front panel so you have the best possible ventilation.

You may also wanna look into getting a used gpu so you have some more money left to spend on the other parts.

I saw some but it's only 240GB I might search from other stores.

How about the GPU Brand, can I trust Galax?

 

Question:   All the PSU's are compatible with all parts in General right?

Galax is trusted brand yes.

Psu's are universal yes. HOWEVER what matters most is that you have a quality unit. Wattage, rating and efficiency means nothing as this is often lied about or the psu has the ratings but is terrible quality.

yes, the corsair cxm is decent. even better (and usually cheaper) would be the corsair cx (non-modular).

Worse psu. You don't even need 650w. 550w is plenty.

Don't look at it by brand look at it on a card by card basis. So what card is it?

It's the Galax GTX 1650 Super EX 1-Click OC 4GB GDDR6, there's also MSI but only has 1 fan.

 

I need to ask because Galax Cards are Rarely being used in Builds.

It's fine just a generic 1650. However I would still look into a used gpu so you can fix the other components that will heavily impact your build.

What GPU is it? Like a 1660 Super or even a 2060 if possible? Don't really know if I can buy used parts though. Isn't it gonna be risky?

You don't get good deals on current gen parts that is why you buy stuff from last gen or older that performs better. Used isn't risky if it's through something like ebay and payed with paypal.

 

I've seen a fair few vega 56's and gtx 1070's go for 1650 super prices. Same with the rx 480 and 580.
