Looking to build a new PC
i would definitely ditch the 2TB 7200rpm HDD and include a 2-4TB 2.5" SSD for a games drive.

using Ryzen CPU i'd also go for some >\=3600MHz RAM.

power supply isn't the best. while B5 isn't the worst for sure, more reliable options for near to same price are available.
Super Flower Leadex III Gold series has been going on & off sale a lot lately for very nice prices, maybe keep an eye out.
