Build parts list and a few questions.

Budget (including currency): 2,500 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cold War, Cyberpunk 2077, RDR2, Doom eternal

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):  

 

I also have a few questions as far as if the AIO I picked out will fit and work out in the case chose. Do I need a bigger cooler or will the one chose fit fine and can i use the fans that come with the case on the radiator? 

This will be my first custom build also so is the whole build fairly simple or do I need to find a more user friendly case.  And should I buy additional case fans?

for only gaming, a Ryzen 9 is unnecessary but if you already bought it then that is fine, you will get a solid experience.

 

32 GB is also unnecessary.

 

If you won't be playing high res, then you should consider going AMD

consider going air cooling if you are unsure. they will typically be cheaper, some quieter and some cooler.

Consider a good and less expensive aio.

 

I'd suggest a better psu.

To guarantee it will work with the 5000 series. The bios for the 5000 series was released a month or so ago. If the x570 tuf you're buying comes with an older bios than that, you'll need an older cpu to update bios, as it doesn't have bios flashback function.

Most b550 boards do have bios flashback though.

If you want to stick with asus, i recommend asus b550 strix-f  or -e or -a for your build.
