Ready to purchase-please review and make suggestions

[stratomaticsports]

My daughter just turned 16 on Monday. Her big present is to build her own gaming computer. Now that the new Ryzen processors have been released for a couple of weeks, we are ready to make the final purchases.
Approximate Purchase Date: This week
Budget Range: I would like to keep it within a couple of hundred dollars of the current price list.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No

Previously purchased components:

PowerColor - Radeon R9 390 8GB PCS+ Video Card
Zalman - ZM-Z9 NEO BK ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair - CXM 650W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Tentative Component List:

AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7GHz 8-Core Processor
Gigabyte - X470 AORUS GAMING 5 WIFI ATX AM4 Motherboard
Patriot - Viper 4 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Samsung - 860 Evo 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive

Notes: I do not know enough about liquid cooling to know if it is worthwhile. Reliability is more important than getting and extra few fps. Also, value is more important to me than being cheap.

My daughter would in RGB on components where it is available. If it does not compromise component quality, or tremendously increase costs,

Both discussions and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Very nice build. I’d just use the cooler that comes with the cpu.

The CXM is a middling psu but it should work fine.

from a purely gaming standpoint and with the price premium you are paying on those parts, an i7 8700k build would be better
