Here's my setup so far:

Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: OLOy WarHawk RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB TUF GAMING OC Video Card
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA BR 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit

Any help/suggestions/criticisim is welcome

Urn... Try for the 5600X instead of a 3600, don't by an X370 board, go for a B550, don't get an SATA SSD, go for an NVME drive. The 1660Ti is poor value, go for the 1660 Super.
