Need to shave off 300$

  • Ryzen 7 2700
  • Lose the cooler
  • MX500 instead of the EVO
  • B series motherboard
  • If you're playing at 1080p, a 1070

You should really get faster RAM though, 2133mhz is inadequate for an AMD system.

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900 Cooler: EVGA CLC280 Motherboard: Gigabyte B550i Pro AX RAM: Kingston Hyper X 32GB 3200mhz

This is more than $300 off. Better and cheaper RAM, B450M because you can, micro ATX because you don't need an ATX case. Cheaper cases can be had, but not in white (that I'd consider buying).

 

And yeah, you could lose the cooler as well, and pick up a 1070 if you're only gaming at 1080p, as was mentioned. You could get it to $1200 then without sacrificing the 2700X.
