Hi guys! Hope you are doing well!

So recently I've thinking a lot to get a custom built PC for high-end gaming. Below I will write the components I will be using, and want to know if these will be enough to play games at 1080p resolution and 60fps (at least).
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H AMD Socket AM4
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600x
GPU: AMD RX 580 4GB 256bit (Can also go for 8GB variant, but looking to save some money)
Memory: 1x CORSAIR 8GB DDR4 2666MHz
HDD: WD Black 500GB
SDD: Sandisk 120GB
PSU: Corsair CS550M 80+
About casing I'm not sure which one should I opt for, keeping in mind that it should be spacious and have enough ventilation. So please suggest any recommended casing for this build.

If you can do it, then I would realy try to change:

CPU to.... Ryzen 3 3300X, Ryzen 5 1600AF (if you can find one) or Ryzen 5 2600
Motherboard to.... Any B450 board, just make sure it support the Ryzen 3 3300X if you are using it (just so you know MSI "MAX" should all come with Ryzen 3xxx support out of the box).
RAM to.... 2x4GB or better 2x8GB DDR4 3000/32000 kit (you want identical RAM stick to be able to enable dual channel, which means better gaming performance).

Just to give you an idea, theres no need to go this exactly build:

The RX 580 8GB is a nice GPU, but is an old design, needs a lot of power and gets hot vs new models (you can still pick one if its really at a good price).
The Western Digital Black HDD wont give you any real performance advantage over a WD Blue, so you can get a bigger drive for the same or less money.

I hope this is helpful, Cheers!
