Here's a list I picked out real quick, buying a graphics card right now isn't the best. And that PC case is pretty overkill for any build unless you're watercooling.

No point in getting a 3800x, the sycthe fuma 2 tower cooler performs better for the same price- and why are you recommending a 500gb gen 4 ssd over a 1 tb ssd? Why a MATX motherboard? Why 32gb of ram? 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

The ram i can see is more or less for future proof. Though i have to agree on the inquiry to the mboard. As for the ssd, im not to worried about size since its main purpose will just be for the os and baseline programs, all games will be stored on the hdd, or another ssd later down the road.

Though thanks for the part list. As for the gfx card trust me I understand about it but this build will probably be bought over the next year or so.

"any" b550 mobo? Yeah, I wouldn't say so.

the sn850 and 980 pro are nice but overpriced. Unnecessary in most cases, a slightly slower and far cheaper ssd should work totally fine. 

For 2 grand you should be getting a 3080 if you're gaming. 
Basically I don't really like people saying " get anything" because that's a decent way to screw up a build.

The one that JRhaber recommended has more cores and threads. Better for workstation esq workloads. This is a new chip with fewer cores/threads, but will perform FAR better in lightly threaded tasks, such as well, gaming.

Rest og budget goes to the graphics card, optionally you can get a 10400F + cheapest Z490 board. If you want a Ryzen 7 8-core my advice is to go for the ASRock B450M Pro4! 😄

hey so just out of curiosity, took what i was given and played with parts a bit. yes i know its way above a $2000 budget i posted originally but that budget was not including the case, monitor, keyboard, etc... my inquiry is, does everything pair well and not bottleneck or screw itself over to much?
