You're missing a power supply, unless you're planning on recycling an old one.

Smoking deal but in the first few pages people are saying it was already dead. Also wouldnt be surprised if Staples just canceles the orders. I remember buying Metro expansion pack for a penny from Best Buy and they canceled it :(.

No SSD? Get at least a 1440 monitor. 1080p is awful.

Found this Newegg deal the other day. E-die, DDR4 3200mhz, cas16, 32gb

Ryzen likes fast ram but this could be worth considering if your not going for higher than 3200mhz and cas14. Cheapest 32gb kit with decent speeds I have seen in the past 2 years. Promotion ends Thursday.

Did the rx5700 replace the rx3080 that everyone was talking about earlier this year? They're both navi 10 and targeting the rtx2070, but rumored price on the 3080 was $249. That would have been a no brainer, but the 5700xt only being $50 more than the 5700 is a more difficult decision (assuming the 3080 no longer exists).

I remembered GN doing a review on this. I know nothing about cases or their opinions on the review, only that it occurred and stuck in my head:

Fractal S2 Meshify Case Review - Improving Airflow in a Mid-Tower | GamersNexus

stub This is a review of a revision of the Define S2, a case which we already dismissed as nearly identical to the Define R6 (a case we liked and found of high build quality), making this the third review we’ve published of the same(-ish) enclosure. That description may not sound promising, but...

3600mhz cas16 which is basically as good as it gets for Ryzen 3000. Anything faster and performance stays the same or might degrade slightly as bus speeds stop running at 1:1 ratios.

You don't need to spend twice as much money to get E-die RAM that will clock as high as Ryzen 3000 wants though...
