Hi guys looking to upgrade my ancient pc. Will be using old ssd and hdd.

Below is the list i come up with from PC Themes.

CPU+Mobo: AMD R5 2600x & Gigabyte GA AB350-Gaming 3 (486)
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws 2400Mhz CL15 2x8gb (258)
GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 6gb AMP Twin Fan (422)
PSU: Seasonic FP FM-550W Semi Gold (125)
Casing: Phanteks P300 (95)
Total:1386

Any recommendations?
Nowadays i mainly play games like Hearts of Iron IV and Total War Warhammer 2 on 1080p and also Photoshop, After Effects and Lightroom. Looking to have this setup for another 9 years (excluding upgrading GPU unless possible). Won't be doing any OC for now until when i feel i need that extra boost. Budget wise trying to keep it below 1500 unless bobian.

1. Try to get a b450 instead.
2. Ryzen loves faster RAM - try to get the Ryzen certified 2X8GB 3000 or 3200 instead.
3. Phanteks has bad airflow.
4. CPU cooler? Or will you use stock

1. B450 boards are not out yet if i'm not wrong. Or should i up to x470?
2. I see i'll probably get the 3000 ones for now.
3. Any case to recommend? Don't want to spend too much on casing since it will be stored under the table.
4. Yea stock cooler for now since i won't be ocing any time soon. I have a hyper 212x can use as a substitute also.
