Pretty decent build, but it would be better to get the ryzen 5 5600, with a better gpu, like the 6600xt, you could sell your current one, and buy it used, or just get the ryzen for better upgradability

Pretty good build, just changed NV2 to Crucial P3 as NV2 has some known quality issues, only a dollar extra
