So Here is what I’ve come up with I’m trying not to go over $1000. These are all the parts I’ve put together. I’m just trying to player modern games on high or ultra. Games like modern warfare and the new assassins creed. I will also be playing games like csgo,dead by daylight,Valorant, and WOW. Hoping this machine will do the job. Thank you guys so much this is my first time getting into pc gaming and getting away from consoles

It's a decent start but the Wifi adapter is totally unnecessary and I definitely agree that you should get a better PSU. This is a bit over budget but would be a far better system:

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor ($207.00 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard ($209.99 @ B&H)
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($83.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Blue SN550 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($109.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB Triple Dissipation Video Card ($379.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 275R...
The evga BQ is made by andyson I recall, not the best manufacturer and it's an alright budget unit, but it's not something I would use in a rig like this.
The cx650 is the cheapest I'd go, though a better unit like Seasonic focus, corsair RM, fractal design Ion+, or thermaltake gf1 can be had for a bit more.

The ssd you chose is a sata based m.2, so it'll be the same speed as a normal 2.5" sata drive. The 250gb is quite small as well with a 500gb drive being only $20 more.

If you're just using a 3600 and at the most maybe will get a 3700x or similar, perhaps skip the tomahawk(fantastic board, nothing wrong with it) and pci-e wifi for a budget b550 board with wifi. It's not the best board, but the vrm's are good enough for a 3600/3700x.
