[SOLVED] PC Build - Are my Components Compatible?

[jrwask]

Planning my first gaming computer on a $700 budget (not including monitor or Windows 10) and wanted some direction as to if these parts are a good fit or if I will have issues when I go to build. Any recommendations would be appreciated as I'm very new at this.

GPU: Sapphire Radeon Nitro+ RX 590 8GB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
Motherboard: MSI ProSeries AMD Ryzen Micro-ATX Motherboard (B450M PRO-M2)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB
HDD: None
SSD: Crucial BX500 480GB
PSU: BitFenix Formula 80 Plus Gold Standard ATX PSU 550W BF-550G
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P300

Extra:
Monitor: Acer KG241Q

Yes, compatible, but a couple of suggestions.
PSU is so so quality
what ram speed is it?
Total budget and country?
what games do you play? 590 not enough for 1080p 144fps AAA titles.

Thanks for your reply!

-At the tier I’m building is it worth it to invest in a gold rated PSU or should I go for a bronze?
-Ram Speed is 3200 Mhz
-Budget $700 USA
-Currently I’m playing Cities Skylines, Surviving Mars, and some Minecraft but would like the capability to run some AAA titles at 60-90 fps. If that is the case, is it worth spending the extra cash on a 144hz monitor for the lower tier games that could run at 144fps or should I stick with a 60 or 75 Hz monitor?
-I also would like the capability to stream/screen record and I’m not sure if that would affect the hardware/price point I’m after.

Do you live near a MicroCenter?

Ignoring the MicroCenter potential, I'm coming in around $640 before tax for your list but with a better NVMe SSD and a 550W 80+ Gold PSU.

RX590 can do >144Hz in some games, especially if you don't run them at ULTRA settings. Get a 144Hz FreeSync monitor. LFC is very nice to have and 75Hz monitors won't have that. Have you laid eyes on a 27" 1080p monitor? Wondering what you think of the pixel density.

Here's a helpful site for looking up monitor specs

I'm assuming you're referring to the Samsung 500GB SSD? And which 550W 80+ Gold would you recommend?

The Adata SX8200 Pro 512GB is regularly $60 on Rakuten after promo code, just like it is right now.

Corsair RMx 550W is on sale at newegg right now for $80. That's a bit high when the Seasonic Focus+ 550W has been $60 recently, but you use what you're given.
