Ryzen 5 3600 based build. I want to make sure everything looks good before purchasing.
###Build Help:
Intended Use
The most demanding programs this would be given are games. nothing crazy, just aiming for 1920X1080 at 60 frames high settings, but doesn't have to be max setting all the time. also a second monitor with an internet browser or whatever else up while the games are being played. other than games, perhaps some basic word processing, excel sheets, and internet browsing (though, i suppose if it can handle gaming, it can do all those things as well)
Budget
Looking to spend between $750 to $800 (US Dollars). I'd really prefer to keep it under 800, but if it would significantly increase performance to go 50 or so above, that could work as well.
Country
purchasing in the United States. Specifically from the somewhat rural parts of south eastern Idaho, so ordering parts is the only real option as there aren't really any computer hardware retailers anywhere near me.
Current Parts list
Here's the parts list I've thrown together after talking to some of my gaming friends about it. PCPartPicker Part List

Other info
Me and my wife would both be building the same tower from the parts, and we already have monitors, keyboards, mice, and other peripherals accounted for. We haven't done any full builds before, but both have some experience dealing with hardware, as we had pre-builts that we put aftermarket PSUs and GPUs into. We're more worried about the post-assembly software things like OS and driver's, but we have some resources we can ask for help from if needed.

If you can go for the western digital black I’d recommend it since it’s like the best this gen has to offer without being over priced
