@Jeusu_101 First of all, go dual channel memory (2x8)GB. Ryzen benefits from dual channel.

Also, find some SSD.

Is this one better?

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory

 

And the SSD there is just a placeholder for now.

I already have a Zalman 700W power supply. I already have a 1TB HDD and I think another 1Tb on SSD might be too much.

And the videocard you suggested has any actual benefits other than cost?

Is the power supply of good quality? If not, don't use it.

 

SSD, swap for a 500GB P1, or SN550, or related. Don't get anything lower.

 

This card has a great cooler.

The power supply never gave me any trouble so I'll keep it for now. And I just noticed about the processor, is there any great difference between the 3600 and the 3600X or just the base clock and price?

If you have the budget, I'd be swapping the power supply, seeing that the 5700 XT is fairly hungry. But you do you.

 

No there isn't, it costs more and if you really want the higher clocks you can oc.

Is the stock CPU cooler good?

Good enough if you're not overclocking.

And in the case of overclocking the cooler I added in the original is alright?

It's a good cooler, yep.

 

Honestly though- you probably won't have to worry about OC'ing. With the Zen 2 chips it doesn't matter as much.
