Yeah this build is a little over my budget it's like $100 over so I guess it's still ok. If I go for rtx 2070 super then it will be in my budget

ive heard that if u want ssd + hdd combo, ideally the hdd should be 4x the size of the ssd, otherwise not worthwhile. so u can downgrade ssd to 512gb and save some money.

other than that the other parts look good.

A few issues with this build IMO.

1. I know case choices are subjective, but you might want to reconsider.

Putting a MicroATX motherboard inside ATX case won't look that good. Also, many popular air coolers cannot fit inside the PC-O11 Dynamic, like the Hyper 212 Black/RGB, Gammaxx 400, NH-U12S etc.

Can consider Meshify C mini if going for MicroATX size.

2. Why spend extra for RGB stuff? RAM, CPU cooler, PSU??!! Like PSUs really no point getting RGB, cos it's hidden at the back of the case.

3. The SSD is not the PCIe Gen 4 one right, cos B450s don't support that.

Save a few dollars here and there can keep within budget alr.

Thanks guys for the advices, it's going to be my first build so there's alot of stuffs I'm not familiar with. I was going to build an atx for future proofing instead of matx but don't know which atx Mobo is better for my budget and stuffs. Would like to keep it at 2080super if possible.
My budget is less than 2.5k if possible and I might need WiFi at the moment because of ** I can't arrange for a lan port cabling to my room.

I just want to say that now is probably the worst time to build a PC. A lot of stuff OOS and prices have been rising. :(

For ATX, I would normally recommend the MSI B450 Pro Carbon AC, except it is probably out of stock forever. B550 is launching next month but no idea when stock will arrive locally.

MicroATX is fine actually, most people don't need that many PCIe slots.

I prefer PCIe WiFi cards, a very good one like the AX200 is probably around $40-50, cheaper ones like the Intel 9260 $30-$40.

Prices below are just a guide, you need to go search around and see if you get it cheaper. $2.5k give or take

CPU + Mobo - Ryzen 7 3700X + B450M Mortar Max $678
RAM - Patriot Viper 4 3600MHz 16GB $145
SSD - Gigabyte Sata 1TB $165
HDD - Toshiba 2TB $88
GPU - Zotac RTX2080SUPER Triple Fan $1120
PSU - Seasonic CORE GX-650 Gold $140
CPU Cooler - Deepcool Gammaxx GTE RGB $35
Case - Fractal Meshify C Mini $149 (OOS)/ Tecware Forge M $55/ MetallicGear(Phanteks) Neo MATX $110
WiFi Card: Any Intel AC9260 $35

i have been searching the web and watched some videos came up with a few changes.
which adds up to almost the same amount as my previous build i mention.

mobo - asus x570 gaming plus tuf
ssd - gigabyte aorus gen4 1tb ssd
case - coolermaster mb500 tuf
cooler - coolermaster master air ma620p tuf
psu - coolermaster 650w tuf 80+ bronze

only thing that bothers me is the psu it's cheaper but it's only 650w and bronze. will it affect my overall build?

Mobo - I using the same one (with onboard wifi). not the best, but I've no issues with it.

The rest are okay.

But don't skimp on the psu. Go for something more reliable than Coolermaster. Look at model specific reviews, brand doesn't say it all.

Replace the SATA SSD with an NVMe one as its connected directly to the PCIe lane. If your getting a B450 get the cheaper PCIe 3.0 NVMe. PCIe 4.0 NVMe's are the expensive ones.

I see you changed your motherboard later to the x570 which is a good move as you will be future-proof to a certain extent but this may blow your budget out of the water especially with the NVMe gen 4 you added. I bought the exact same one!

I mean the Ryzen 7 3700x is a lot better than the Ryzen 5 3600, so...

PCIe Gen 4 is not worth it, get a Gen3 NVMe like the Transcend MTE220S if you really want. I never noticed a difference between my NVMe and SATA SSDs anyway.

I don't really like Coolermaster stuff, so yeah. Get something else.

The CPU cooler is not great for the price.
80 Plus Bronze PSU with a 2080 Super is not the best idea.
Case choice can end up saving a lot of money.

PSU can get Seasonic, Superflower or FSP.
Case have a lot of choices. I like my NZXT H500/510, some other good ones like Phanteks P300A/400A, Deepcool, etc.
CPU cooler can get Deepcool Neptwin RGB, Dark Rock Pro 4.

Honestly if you like RGB that much then maybe you don't need the performance. In which case I don't see why I need to be here :flash:

Here's your first problem, your cooler does not fit your case based on specifications.

CLEARANCE - CPU COOLER: 163mm/6.41"
HEAT SINK DIMENSIONS (L X W X H): 116 x 110.1 x 165 mm / 4.6 x 4.3 x 6.5 inch
