Hey guys I was just checking if there are any
suggestions for my first time, or if I should probably
change any parts since I'm not an expert.
Note: I'm planning on upgrading my cpu to a Ryzen
9 5900x and GPU to a RX 6800xt but you know,
shortage and stuff made me stick with a bit lower
for now. Thanks guys
The specs are:
CPU: AMD ryzen 5 5600X 6-core
CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D15
MoBo: NZXT N7 B550
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 Super OC
GDDR6
Memory: Corsair Vengance LPX 32 GB (2x16)
Storage: WD black SN850 1tb NVME SSD

As an owner of both a 5900X and an EVGA SuperNOVA, I can tell you that you want a different PSU. It's a decent enough PSU, but if you want to really squeeze the most performance out of the 5900X, you'll need something better. I swapped mine for a Corsair RM850x.

You likely don’t need a 220w cooler for a 65w cpu.  Might be mitigating factors like wanting to use it in open desert or something.  That cpu comes with a stock cooler in the boxed version which is free.  Might want to see how that one does before breaking out the big guns. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
