1st build! Looking for feedback before I take the plunge on this Ryzen build i put together for gaming.
###Build Help/Ready:
Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)
Yes indeedy.
What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
It'll mostly be used for gaming. I am thinking I'll give streaming a try, but that would be more just for fun and not something I want to seriously pursue right now.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)
100+ FPS @ 1080p on most games would be cool. I'll probably pick up a 1440p (2K?) monitor later on and in that case 30-60 frames is okay.
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
Trying to keep it around $1200 to spend on all parts except for mouse, keyboard, monitor and headphones. Oh and I have a 1 TB external drive already for bulk.
In what country are you purchasing your parts?
U.S.A.
Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.
I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff, so feel free to point out anything I could fix or streamline. Not sure if i picked out the right size fans and such. Looking forward to building my first gaming PC!
Thank you for reading!!

Hello!
I already have those items, sorry if my wording was confusing.
I WAS considering the G.Skill RAM instead, so I'll definitely go for that instead.
Any reasoning for the Power Supply change?
Edit: I updated the list!
So for the changes
The cooler on the msi card is better than that particular evga card, its why i switched it.
The psu is gold instead of bronze and the tx series are highly rated.
Awesome, I appreciate the feedback! Making those changes.
Just use my list and save it on pcpartpicker.
