MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS

AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600 

Corsair Vengeance® LPX 8GB DDR4 3200Mhz (x2)

GIGABYTE GTX 1660 OC 6GB

Corsair CV Series™ CV550 550W 80+ Bronze Certified

TP Link PCI EXPRESS WIFI Card TL-WN881ND

256SSD Adata

1TB HDD Seagate

Raidmax X627 ARGB

 

 

Is this a good build for some video editing, gaming and some programming and app development?

What is your budget and country?

Some things that stand out
-8GB of RAM
-Bad PSU
-Non specific storage lisgted
-No case listed
-Expensive MOBO with a 3600 and with a wifi adapter

geometry is hard
b550 > x570

budget is around 1100USD

You can't do much with $1100, you could build a system that's 40% faster for only $100 more. Save that extra money, and don't screw yourself out of value.

The 5600X is about ~20% faster than the 3600, and the 3060 is also about 20% or more than the 1660 Super.

 

Here's what I'd recommend (for $1200):

Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($164.99 @ Amazon) 
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory  ($91.99 @ Newegg) 
Storage: Western Digital Blue SN550 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($104.99 @ Lenovo) 
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB Video Card  ($339.98) 
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P360A ATX Mid Tower Case  ($84.98 @ Newegg) 
Power Supply: MSI 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply  ($80.70 @ Amazon) 
Case Fans: 2x Phanteks PH-F120SK 50 CFM 120 mm Fan  ($9.99 each @ Newegg)

Not a fan of the cooler choice, (the U12S Redux is $5 more)
Other than that looks fine

Both coolers have an 8 heatpipe single-tower design, and the be quiet! has a better 120mm fan than the U12S.

Other than Noctua's 6 year warranty (compared to the 3 year that comes with the Pure Rock 2), I don't see the reason to spend an extra $5. 🙂

Cooler is also black, not that aesthetics really matter that much. I do see your point though if warranties or brand loyalty is of better value.
