I couldn't find a better place to post this so sorry if it's erroneously put.

Hello everyone.
I recently came up with this and am going to purchase it today. However I'm kind of a noob and I'd like to ask around people who know their stuff. Could I come up with anything better/similar under the same budget? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, although I believe the list is pretty decent, if you think there's anything wrong with it please do state it and also tell why.

Thanks a lot and have a great one everybody.
 
Do you have to purchase today? Ryzen 3000 will be launched, Sunday. Also the RTX 2060 super/2070 Super was just released. If you absolutely want to purchase today, then this would work. Similar in up front cost, but with a faster SSD, and an R7 2700. Also the PSU is a bit better as it is the 10yr warrantied fully modular Focus Gold, vs the 7yr semi modular. Also a bit more upgrade/overclocking headroom.

Nope, I do not necessarily have to purchase today. What are the benefits if I wait for the new Ryzen releases?
 
Ryzen 3000 is expected to be a good deal faster, with regards to IPC. If the leaked benchmarks are even remotely true, the R5 3600 is going to be a great gaming CPU, for the money. Also, we may see more price drops, on the Ryzen 2000 processors, with it's release.
 
Unless the estimated period of time until everything's launched is longer than 15 days, then I might as well just wait and get back to you once again after the releases. Hm?


What about the RTX Super, though? Are they purchasable yet?
 
Thanks brother, I think I'll have a stop until upcoming updates.

I'll personally ask you for advice in DMs after new items reveal and hope you can help me choose something proper to build, may you have some time to spare for me.
