You got a really good list to begin with though i did do some minor upgrades

 

Added a cpu cooler so your cpu can boost higher

 

Upgraded the board to a b550a pro

 

Upgraded the ssd to an a2000 (has dram cache and faster than an sn550)

 

Upgraded the psu to 750w

 

You can get windows from sites like scdkey for ~20$ since paying full price for a garbage os like windows 10 is quite a ripoff, and sometimes there are youtuber promocodes so you can get a discount, for scdkey i think tech yes city has a scdkey code, if i recall correctly it is TYC but there are also other sites where you can buy windows keys from

Where are you getting your edited prices from though?

 

Have you already bought those components, or are you planning on getting them for those prices?

Get a better RAM

Get a better drive, SN550 is bad drive.

Get a different PSU. 

That's all you need to do.

I have already bought the GPU.  Got lucky at my local Micro Center and I am buying the case from a friend.

I would recommend this then. Games like RDR2 will take up a lot of storage, so you'll want to have a 1TB SSD dedicated to your games. You can also get Windows 10 for free, and just buy a key later, or get one for cheap (like $30-40) elsewhere.
