GPU- Gigabyte Rtx 2070
Mobo- Asrock B450M Steel Legend
RAM- Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 mhz DDR4 8x2
Storage- 1 240GB Adata SSD
1 2TB Toshiba HDD
PSU- Gigabyte 550W 80+ Bronze

It's highly imbalanced. I would not recommend below a R3 3300X / R5 3500 for anything RTX.

The 2070's price is fine, although you should probably wait for the 3060 to drop somewhere in January.

I'd recommend a WD Blue or Kingston A400 SSD minimum, they're about 3k usually. The reason being the Adata one I think you're referring to is a QLC (quad layer) NAND, TLC is better, A400 and Blue are TLC. Make sure the HDD is 7200rpm, not 5400.

The PSU is also pretty insufficient, for a 2070 I would recommend 650W, check out the Corsair CX650, it's pretty good (the one without the M) don't buy CV or VS they're meant for low end builds, 2070 is higher middle level. 550 is just too tight and doesn't have enough headroom for any upgrade

The motherboard is fine, depending on the price. But, it's a B450, so make sure that the BIOS is updated from the store because you cannot use USB flashback to update it and your computer will not work because you're picking a Ryzen 3000 CPU. MSI's B450M Pro VDH MAX, for example is Ryzen 3000 ready (pre-installed bios update)

RAM is great, check out G Skill Ripjaws V too, pick corsair or g skill whichever is cheaper

The case is okay... How much are you paying for the case, and mobo?
