Looking to replace my aging Haswell-E system with a Ryzen 3/4 and hoping someone can double check my items to see if they are optimal?
I doubt I'll be re-using anything (except the monitor obvs..)

Current system:-
5820k (not overclocked)
MSI X99 Krait
64GB DDR4-2400 Crucial
MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr
Multiple SSDs
Fractal F5 case
Alienware AW3418DW and Dell 25"

System is used for gaming and labbing (VMware workstation running 10+ VMs).
Games are mainly FPS e.g Borderlands, Bioshock, Fallout, Farcry etc

So this is what I'm thinking about:-
CPU -> AMD 3600 (and replace with a 4900X at the end of the year)
Motherboard -> MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk
RAM -> Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64GB 3600Mhz
GPU -> Re-use GTX970 until Ampere is released, I need Gsync.
Power Supply -> Corsair TX650W
Case -> Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic
Cooler -> Noctua NH-D15
System drive -> Samsung 970 EVO 1TB Nvme
Games drive -> Samsung 860 EVO 2TB
Storage disk -> WD Black 4TB HDD
Keyboard -> Ducky One2 Mini 60% RGB USB Mechanical
Mouse -> Keep existing Logitech G305
Speakers -> Could really do with a recommendation

I will be purchasing another monitor to go with my current 34".
Probably something like the Alienware AW3420DW.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
 
Argh thanks for the replies.

Maybe I need to stick with Fractal or a Phantek.
Storage wise I don't know if I'll see a real world difference with the PCIe v4 drives and I've always had Samsung drives with zero issue (I do have an Crucial MX500 in a box that's been sitting there for > 6 months).

I hear what you're saying about monitors but my current one is gsync based so I need to stick with it.
I'm buying the AW3420DW because my current one is so good and the warranty is also excellent.
