The Ryzen 5 3600 surpasses the similarly priced Ryzen 7 2700x in gaming. The 3600s stock cooler is not as good as the 2700x included cooler, so I added a Deepcool Gammaxx 400.
I switched to a motherboard with BIOS flashback to update the BIOS to support the 3600 without an older CPU.
I switched to ram that is a much better deal.
Switched to an SSD with a good price.
The GTX1080 is no longer produced. If you want to buy one used you can, but if you want new the AMD RX5700xt is actually better performing. You could also go for the AMD RX5700 (non-XT) for a little less money.
The TXM will work, but the RM650w is a little cheaper.
