Hi, how are you guys?

I am thinking to buy this PC:
Case: COUGAR GEMINI M SILVER RGB
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard:
GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO
GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 5600 XT B
Cpu Cooler: AMD stock
RAM:
OLOy WarHawk RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin Intel/AMD Ready DDR4 3200
SSD: Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA M.2

Question #1:

The valor is ~1000 - 1100 Dollar ($), but I don't have a lot, I am trying to save money, so do I buy the B450 (If I will buy it, I will buy: ASRock B450M Steel Legend AM4 AMD ), so the valor will be ~ 950 - 1000 Dollar ($),

Question #2:
Do you recommend me to make changes to the PC or no??

Thank you all very much!!!

1)Are you looking in-store right now or something?
If the B450 board has a 'Ryzen 3000 Desktop Ready' sticker on it, I'd say get it.

2)That chassis' out of the box thermal performance is poor; it needs additional fans. Get a couple of 140mm fans.

Hi,
1) I am thinking to buy it after 1 to 2 months

2) there is one fan in behind

1)Well shucks, your options may change in that time frame...

2)Yeah, that's pretty garbage for a chassis that's going to house a gaming gpu. That needs more fans.
Front intake: 2x 140mm or 3x 120mm
Top exhaust: 1x 140mm
The preinstalled fan can stay at the rear.
