Want to see if I can make anything better.

Options
It is my first time building and I had a couple questions? Here is my build
Processor- AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard-MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard
Ram- Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
SSd- Western Digital Blue 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Gpu- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 3X Video Card
Case-Corsair iCUE 465X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case
Power supply-EVGA BQ 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
Monitor- LG 27GL650F-B 27.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor
I want to know if there is anything I can do to save money because I do not know if my cpu is as good as my gpu , because I will be running Call of duty and Fortnite mainly and I wanted to see if I can make anything better or do anything to save money. My budget is $1,250

    The Ryzen 5 3600 is a good CPU and it can pair well with a 2070 Super, so don't worry too much about that. In terms of saving money, the easiest area would be on the case. There are cases you can get for about half the cost that will still work well like the Cooler Master NR600, Lian Li 205 and NZXT H510. 

    I would also recommend a 24" instead of a 27" monitor if you're going with 1080p for your resolution. Monitors should cost a little less at a smaller size and personally, I think for a 27" monitor 1080p isn't quite enough and text/images can get a little pixellated and blurry because the pixel density isn't quite there. 

    Otherwise it's a solid build all around.

    I didn't notice it last night, but you chose DDR4-3200 for your RAM, I would recommend getting a kit of DDR4-3600 since that's the sweetspot for third generation Ryzen CPUs. Otherwise, the only other things I'd really change are what I already mentioned. The CPU, GPU, SSD, motherboard and power supply are all solid choices.

    For $250 the 1660 Super is the card to choose. The only other one near that price i'd recommend would be the RX 5600XT, however the 5600XT is closet to $280 so it's a little more expensive.

    The Ryzen 5 3600 will pair well with any GPU. You won't be "using its full potential" but that's not a bad thing, it means you'll be able to pair it with future GPU upgrades without having to also upgrade your CPU. 

    The motherboard you chose is one of the best B450 motherboards as far as I'm aware and is a good choice along with the 3600.

    in pcpartpicker it tells me that 
    The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled.
    What does that mean and also if the mother board is a problem in that would other motherboard would you recommend to get rid of this problem the price around $150

    I think it is because of the storage because when I put the storage it brings up the error and when I take the storage off it says no error sorry to bother but I want to know how to fix this problem.

    It means if you're using an M.2 SSD and install it into that M.2 slot, two of the standard SATA ports on the motherboard will automatically be disabled because they're sharing lanes. It's not a problem, just how they're designed. You'll find this on pretty much every motherboard.

    That's perfectly fine. Some motherboards may specifically differentiate between SATA M.2 and NVMe M.2 drives and not disable some of the ports if it's an NVMe drive, but either way I don't think you'll run into any problems.

    The regular The normal RTX 2060 and the RX 5600XT are going to be the GPUs to look at aroudn $280-300. All these GPUs should be able to run Call of Duty well at 1080p.

    Any variant is of a certain GPU model is going to perform basically the same. One 5600XT isn't going to be that different from another, so if you're going with the 5600XT I'd just find the one that's the least expensive and check up on reviews to make sure it doesn't have some weird model-specific flaw that affects a lot of people. 
  • I made my pc it is working well still getting used to it but its good, so thanks for helping me.
