[SOLVED] Is my future pc build good?

Solution
I wouldn't go Intel (6 Cores) currently due to the Ryzen 3600 (6C/12T) performance and cheaper price, plus 6 cores has been somewhat limited for newer open world style games and some FPS style games and the 12 threads on the 3600 would be better in the long run especially if you stream. Also you can get a faster M.2 NVMe SSD for cheaper and use those savings to get a much better PSU. Disregard the error message, the MSI MAX boards ship with an updated BIOS to support the 3rd gen.

Edit: That 9600K(F) should only be like $200, you picked the wrong one on PCPer.

I would not discount Intel at all especially the 9700KF or even the 9700K as they are about as good as it gets on the gaming front with just the 9900K being fractions ahead. A couple of changes with the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro motherboard which has an excellent 12 phase VRM and the RX 5700XT....which just edges the RTX 2060 Super unless ray tracing is important to you....Finally a 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD from Crucial which is a huge difference from a standard SSSD.....With Black Friday fast approaching you should be able to drop the price down a bit more!
