If i were you i change it to 5600x using the stock fan.

If it's not available now, WAIT, it's worth it.

change 970 evo with WD 750.

PSU 850w to 600/650w.

[Akira Shimazu]

i would go 650 760 instead of 850W

Pretty dam solid. I'd just look for a sale on 3600 cl16 and personally skimp out cheap, on storage and go 3080. But yea

Would i have to go with another motherboard? pc part picker says the 5600x isnt compaitabel with my currently selected motherboard

Yes, it will be updated in early next year.

A B550 is required for now.

I'd go all SSD, or at least get a 7200RPM hard drive.

Well, all ssd would be stupid if you want a large storage. Unless you have money to burn.

7200rpm vs 5400rpm performance not that different, 5400rpm is better since it will run relatively cooler.

Cool HDD = longer life.

They never said anything about mass storage of files, if it's just a mass game storage drive, going 7200RPM will help with load times.

Games is included in "mass storage".

See this, 7200rpm is only 1-2 seconds faster, not really worth the 10-30% higher price.

My thought process was to keep games im currently playing on the ssd and other games on the hdd

Try Booting from a 5400rpm HDD.
