In general you made good choices for a budget build, but I will mention that we no longer carry the Ryzen 5 2600X.
I'd look at the Ryzen 3 3300X instead. It has four cores as opposed to six, but it has better single-core speeds so it's actually better for gaming than the 2600X generally speaking. It's just a tad bit more expensive but in my opinion it's the best budget gaming processor available. If you do go with the 3300X, I would pair it with a B450 motherboard instead as some of the 300 series boards are not compatible with the third gen Ryzen CPUs, even with a BIOS update.
