1.GTX 1050 ți is overpriced keep the GT 730 until you find a better GPU like the Rx 570.

2. 3600 is also overpriced,you can get a better CPU for cheaper.

3.power supply is overkill.

I got a better CPU for cheaper.The motherboard is pricier but it's worth it.I couldn't find the motherboard on the Canadian pcpp but you surely can find something similar.

 

I kept the overkill power supply,because I couldn't find anythingw worth downgrading to.

 

Keep the 730 until you find a better GPU on the used market or until the RTX 3000 cards get cheaper.
