3600MHz CL18 RAM is almost the same as 3200MHz CL16 RAM, so I would recommend getting that instead. Go for a better SSD too, for sure.

actually a good list

Though i suggest changing

 

Cooler to phantom or fuma 2

Ssd to kingston a2000

Psu to msi mpg (not neccesary but save a few bucks)

Cheaper 3200 cl16 rams (3600 cl18 has the same performance as 3200mhz cl16, though i think cl16 is preffered here since no apu)

Mobo to b550a pro or tomahawk (x570 is uneccesary)

5600x to 5800x (prob doable with the money saved)

You don't need a 360mm AIO to cool a 5600X. Total waste of money.

He has a budget of 1200...i was trying to use most of that so i went with a high-end cooler.

 

I do agree with you though...but you should probably put something a little nicer than a hyper 212 on it...

A ~$30 cooler like the Arctic Freezer 34 will be fine. The money saved can be better spent elsewhere.
