Budget (including currency): ~$USD 1500

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: New AAA games and others that I have missed throughout the years

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): 

 

Wanting to upgrade from a MSI laptop with a 1050TI to a new desktop PC. I have put together this build on PC part picker (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4f938J) and really just looking for ensurance on the parts. 

 

I know the 5600 and 3080 may be hard to find and dont mind waiting until I get those instock, but want to order other parts while they go on sale until then. 

 

  •     MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard: Want due to the longevity of a B550 for upgrades, additional M.2 in the future and the wifi+bluetooth on this board. Rent in a house where ethernet isnt possible so this has the wifi that I need and also bluetooth for my Bose QC35 headphones I use to play games with. 
  •     G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory: Wanted to get a 3600 for ryzen as I read it takes advantage of fast RAM. Choosing the CL 18 RGB vs CL 16 for comparable price as I read I can overclock to the 16 and get the RGB. 
  • SK hynix Gold P31 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive: Already purchased for $107 on sale. Read it is one of the best M.2 you can buy and got a good deal on the price
  • Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case: Like the look of the case. Seems to have all compatible features with 2 fans and 5 headers for the additional fans I have. I also have an ssd and a hardrive that I plan to install that this can fit. 
  • Corsair CXM 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply or the EVGA BQ 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply: Both seem the same so seems like I cant go wrong with either. 
  • Cooler Master MasterFan MF120R 59 CFM 120 mm Fans 3-Pack: RGB Fans as I figured why not for my budget allowing it. 

 

  • Monitor: I currently have a 144hz 1080p Sceptre monitor that was featured on a LTT budget monitor video a few months ago. I do plan to upgrade this to a 1440p in a couple of months when I have everything else sorted out

Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!
