the Ryzen 7 5800x is better than using the X570 but if your budget is lacking I recommend using the B550 from Asus or something like that, use a quality liquid cooling or air cooling to keep the CPU temperature stable. for a case, choose a quality one on the marketplace with good airflow, don't be too expensive for a casing.

Some notes on this aprts list:

  • The 5700x and 5800x are the same CPU.  They boost to the same frequency and have the same core and thread counts, as well as the same cache.  The 5800x just has a higher bas frequency, but that doesn't matter as they'll both boost to the same frequency.
  • You can get 32GB or RAM and a 2TB SSD easily with this budget.  games are huge nowadays so I say it's worth it.  The NV2 is as fast of a gen 4 nvme as a game could ever want and its dirt cheap.
  • This motherboard has onboard wifi and blueooth and great cooling on all necessary components.  Good I/O too.
  • The good 750w PSUs were only a little cheaper than the rm850e, which is a way better PSU.  You can overclock your GPU as fast as you want with this.
  • The case is a bit out there, but I thought it looked cool and it comes with cool fans pre-installed.
