Amd is announcing ryzen 4000 in 2 weeks, probably worth the wait.
If waiting isn't on the menu, build looks fine

Get a meshify c for the case

wait for zen 3

get a 3000 series gpu

get a better quality b550, instead of a low quality x570

If gaming, 32gb of ram is overkill, 16gb would save some.

get a higher quality ssd, like a sabrent or crusial.

I could use some help with this!

please, pm me if you would like to contribute to my gpu bios database (includes overclocking bios, stock bios, and upgrades to gpus via modding)

motherboard is hot garbage, the B550 gaming plus is much better.

you don't need an 850w PSU, save the money for something else.

the sabrent rocket is literally the same as the SSD he picked...

Which sabrent rocket? The Rocket Q? The normal Rocket? The Rocket 4.0?

I usually would go for a Rocket Q or 4.0, as the Q has similar performance and quality as samgsung drives (not the same, but the samssungs are not worth the  ≈ 30$ uptick in price)

I could use some help with this!

probably not, the 3070 is on pc part picker, and he knows how to change price, as 30xx does not have a price there yet.

Thats also a Phison E12 drive. Well a Phison E12s. Which has minor differences. 

 

Edit: the phison E16 that the 4.0 carries is also just a 4.0 revised Phison E12. Sp yes the Sabrent Q is in fact worse than the regular Sabrent.

What samsung drive and citation needed

 

True that samsung drives are rarely worth it, but sabrent like many other companies are just "rebrands". Or more specifically, an "off-the-shelf" controller and nand flash.
