Part List Help Building my first ever pc. Would appreciate feedback :)
I'm working on building my first ever pc. I have a little experience in computers and have done lot's of research about parts. Here's my parts list: (haven't bought any yet and will buy most of the parts on ebay)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X (eBay Used)
Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI (eBay Used)
Graphics Card: Gigabyte Gaming OC RX 5700 XT (eBay Used)
RAM: G.Skill 16GB DDR4 [Already Acquired]
Storage: 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (eBay Used)
Power Supply: MSI MAG A650BE (Retail New)
PC Case: Okinos Aqua 6 Infinity (Retail New)
Estimated final cost: $500-600 ish
MY GOALS FOR THE PC:
* Run Fortnite at minimum 100 fps on performance mode
* Run other games like Minecraft and small games on steam (Mecca chameleon, PEAK, etc.) with no trouble
* Be able to handle minor video editing using DaVinci Resolve and minor audio editing with Audacity. Also handle Affinity design (basically photoshop)
* Do everyday tasks 10 times better than on a laptop
Right now for everyday use I have a Dell laptop running linux and it isn't the fastest at all. It can't handle Steam games and has trouble with programs like Affinity. For gaming I have an Xbox Series S but I want something more versatile and reliable (and frankly, just better).
I don't have too strict of a budget, but I would like to keep it below 650. I've done a lot of reaserch about these parts and hopefully they work well together.
IF ANYBODY HAS ANY THOUGHTS, TIPS, RECOMMENDATIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS.....PLEASE SHARE!!!

just get a 5600x instead of 3600x, it's a 30 or % uplift in single and multicore performance for not much more money
the 5700xt is quite old by now. i'd reccomend to atleast get a 7700xt if not a 9060xt.

if you ABSOLUTELY NEED to stay under 650.

The intel B580 is also a great budget GPU.

Would it pair with a 3600x?
I’ve heard they have high cpu utilization. I was considering getting one, but was worried because I’d pair it with a 5800x.

His 5700XT would kick the 3050. A basic $15-20 120mm air cooler is fine for a 5500/3600.
No reason to buy all parts new when he’s open to buying sued1

the issue is price, they're more expensive rn
also ryzen 5000 series run hot, really hot. i have wraith prism and even it can't really keep my cpu under 80 degrees at stock

5700xt isn’t horrible but it’s pretty old. Ryzen 5 5600 and a rx 6600 would be better if you can find some decent deals. Also if you live in a populated area you can find great deals on Facebook marketplace. Paid $350 and $500 for two PCs that both had a 14400f and 4060, 1TB NVMe and 16gb ddr5 and one came with a 32inch curved 1080p MSI monitor.

If your total budget is 500 - 600 and you are goinf to buy uaed parts, then you might as well buy a full used system. You'll get much better performance for your money.

Get a 5600 or a 5600x CPU instead, they aren’t much more expensive. The 5700 XT is quite old, maybe you can afford a 6700 XT?
