Thank you so much in advance.

It’s an ok build, but two of the components will be obsolete in the next month. I wouldn’t really bother leading a 3950x with a 2060 but if you need the extra processing power then ok. And I get that if you are always waiting for the next thing in technology you will never buy anything.

AMD will be announcing their new processors in the next couple of days on the 10th I believe. I don’t know when they will be available, but soon after and they will be much better for gaming by all accounts.

Also Nvidia have just announced the 30 series cards, the 3060 hasn’t been announced yet but is expected to launch in November.

So I would think about waiting if I was you as we are so close to new technology.

1. The CPU, Motherboard, and Case are all good choices. (EDIT: I agree with BT&D on waiting for the Zen3 release if you are not in a hurry. It should be announced within the month)
2. You have 2 different ram kits. 32GB is about where you want to be so I would look at either a single 4x8 kit of 3600Mhz or a set of 2x16GB 3600Mhz sticks.
3. You should add a video card still. I would wait until the RTX 3070's are released in 9 days and see what fits your needs and price. (EDIT: I didn't notice the 2060 in your list and was looking at the link.)
4. You have 3x M.2 drives but that motherboard can only fit 2. Also I would buy either a single 2TB drive or 2x 1Tb drives. Is there a reason for wanting 3 separate drives? If so you will want to add a PCIe adapter for them.
5. I'm not familiar with that PSU but for the money you can likely get a better unit for less. I generally stick with EVGA, Seasonic, or Corsair only because one of them always seems to be on sale and they offer high quality units. 750W should be plenty of power though.

Just my thoughts.

(EDIT: again I was looking at the link and not the posted list)

I would definitely go for 32gb of RAM instead of 16, given your stated use. Also, Corsair Ram is known for often not playing well with AMD chips. GSkill would be a better choice I think. There are some GSkill products that are tuned specifically to be compatible with AMD.

@trents that seems like a great price

System looks good, but I would wait for the Ryzen 9 5900x, and try to get yourself a RTX 3070. That would be more bang for the $$.
