I would change the 3600X to a 3600 and I'd get the Intel NVME drive and I'd get the Seasonic PSU I would suggest getting 3200MHz but if you rather spend on other parts of your build that's totally fine.
is the 3200MHz for the ram?
also, making all those changes would affect the price how?

If you are worried about the case or motherboard read a review, But I really recommend X570 for Ryzen 3000 until all the BIOS problems are sorted, Yes 3200MHz is recommended for Ryzen 3000 however, if you are okay with overclocking get a kit that has very good overclocking like the Crucial Sport LT 3000MHz kit I have.

Would this all be fine if I went with the case I originally had selected as I love the look of it

AMD is known to improve their driver performance over time and this card has just been launched. If there are any driver issues at all, they will sort it in a couple of months.
Thanks, since its mostly within the price range ill probably go for it. thank you, everyone, for your advice!
