Just get a normal 3600 over the 3600x. They can usually clock up to 3600x speeds anyways and the frequency bump isn't that helpful. Also if you don't need the NVENC encoder and realtime ray tracing the 5600XT and 1660 Ti are solid alternatives to the RTX 2060.
OK internet - I could use your help. I'm building a new streaming PC. Anyone see obvious places to cut some fat off of this build? It's a little pricey for me right now. Will consult other sources as well, of course. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2HYBTC

Really cheap cases are absolutely fine in most cases. You could cut back in HDD memory unless you really need all 4TB, 1TB ones can come a lot cheaper 2nd hand monitors are also really good for 2nd/3rd screens Double check your CPU doesn't already come with a cooler

Also, don't skimp out on your power supply, that thing will try everything in your 2 grand PC if you don't get a good one. Idk that specific power supply, might be fine, the price just puts me on edge!

hey creighton, ryzen cpu comes with cpu cooler, highly doubt you will need another. saves you a good chunk of moolah right there.

Oh nice! And the included fan is good enough that I don’t need an aftermarket one? I thought you usually had to pick up an upgrade from the included CPU fan.

You don't need an X570 motherboard - a B450 one will also work fine with your CPU, RAM and storage for a fraction of the price. Agree with others re: CPU cooler (not needed), case (could be cheaper but whatever), monitors (better to buy used for this spec).

For the graphics card, the RTX 2060 KO just came out and it's worth buying! It's essentially an RTX 2070 GPU with a GTX 1660 Ti board, making it slightly better than an RTX 2060 for $300. Ray tracing is in consoles this year, so many more games will support it. Well worth the $25

Drop the X off the end of your CPU. It's extra $$ for very little gain
