Could I get a once-over?

IronStaple

Howdy!

Being a first time PC builder, PCPartPicker got me to a rough start for my first pc. Following the news, this

tech drought starved further by shortage issues means I will have to go down a tunnel of indiscernible length with everyone until 

we hopefully trek out to a waterfall of video cards and CPU stock. But while walking on this path, I wanted to get my list together so I can

symbolically get my cup ready to scoop up what I need.

 

I did my research for what seems to fulfill my wants (it'll be for gaming: New World, League, and some Indie Games), but I am 

coming from a laptop that runs New World at 20 FPS at best. I don't want to overcompensate like some with an oversized truck (as the joke goes),

but I desperately want to cleanly play games (80 FPS would be a god-send). So far, I am curious if I can downgrade from the list I made? 

 

To be specific, I suspect the RAM, CPU, and Video Card may be a tad much (without considering they are currently harder to find than Waldo). 

Although I am utterly ignorant about motherboards, as there looks to be an overwhelming selection which isn't consumer friendly. 

So assuming everything were to be in stock still, would anyone be kind enough to point out what I may be completely overkilling? 

Budget (including currency): $1500 (if everything were in stock during a holiday deal).

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Purely gaming (New World, Indie Games, and other AAA as they come out)

Swap cpu for a 5600x

Ditch the d15 for a mugen 5 or se 224 xt

Ditch the sn550 for an a2000

Ditch b550f for ds3h ac or pro vdh wifi

Rmx is a good unit but a decent 850w like msi mpg, revolution df can be found for ~100$

4000d is also a good case but p400a is abit cheaper (non digital/rgb)

Fuma 2 would be perfect...

Both are Dramless drives, Getting Crucial P5 or something similar will be much better.

While B550F is little expensive, Getting almost cheapest possible board isn't smart either... MSI B550-A Pro or something similar would be much better option.

750W will be absolutely enough for this system

I think op needs wifi hence the b550f wifi mb though they havent said if they needed wifi or not, maybe the tuf gaming wifi mb thats going for ~160$

Yes it have LPDDR4 Dram, You can say it pretty much competes against drives such as Samsung 970 Evo Plus and beats those in price point.

If the kingston a2000 was meant, that does have dram (1gb ddr3).

Ssd optionally use dram as read/write caches, not all ssds have it. Those that doent perform worse in specific loads.
