yep, i became aware of the bottlenecking issue a bit ago so im buying all those parts and then saving for a gpu.Oh sorry, well you can save some money by not buying a CPU cooler since the CPU comes with one. You also don't need to buy rip-off RAM. And finally, the motherboard doesn't affect performance at all so you can buy a cheaper one. Here is a modified part list:

Are you gonna go with your part list or save some money with mine. If you want to overclock the s**t out of your CPU then get a X470 motherboard but if you're going to do mild then get a B450. You're also better off saving ~$45 by getting the RAM I selected since it's just as good (200Mhz really makes no noticeable difference). Also don't get a separate CPU cooler, the one that comes with the CPU is pretty good, even for overclocking.
aight thanks.
Maybe M.2 upgrade would be a decent idea?
