So I was playing with the thought of building my first computer. I have had a pretty old "Gaming" computer that my dad's friend build for me about 6 years ago and it had 8GB of RAM and a Gainward GTX 960 (just to name some parts). Until now it kept up great, not gonna lie - I can still play most of the games I like on somewhat good graphics and okay fps.
In the future I would like to go into VR and maybe high res gaming and as well I'd want fast rendering in Photoshop and of course fast loading speeds everywhere. Basically an all around build is what I want.

So I came up with what I added as the photo - RTX 2070, 16GB Ram, Ryzen 2600X (I am planning to use the cooler that comes in the box and won't overclock since I never did and don't want to break anything, especially not on my first build...)

Would be easier if you just post the link.
I would do a few suggestions:
Get a Ryzen 7 1700X which is cheaper and has 8 cores
Buy a decent B450 like steel legend or tomahawk which is even better than some X470's.
Don't buy the OS at that price you can buy for 25$ online, google.
With the money saved, buy a 2080 and a decent CPU cooler.
