Budget Build - Can I Go Cheaper?

Post Body

Tired of gaming on my IdeaPad with a mobile GTX 1650 and only 8GB of RAM. I also want a secondary SSD to boot into Linux when I'm not gaming. I've built PC's before but a long time ago. Here's what I got so far...

  • Corsair 4000D Airflow case $104.99 (Just picked a popular one. I've always been bad picking out cases. Possibly save money here?)

  • 2x Artic P12 Pressure-optimised 120mm fans Case comes with 2 fans but I'm thinking I need 2 more because I'm using the stock CPU cooler?

  • GTX 1660 Super $100 Going to buy used

  • Ryzen 5600X $156.63 Should I consider Intel or another model?

  • MSI B550-A Pro $139.99 Seemed like a good fit for the Ryzen CPU but will this require flashing the BIOS before install?

  • 1TB WD_BLACK SN770 $59.99

  • 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM 3200Mhz

  • EVGA 500 watt BR PSU $66.89 Is this going to be enough? Also considered the Corsair RM650x but it's $104.99

Thoughts? Opinions? Can I go cheaper?
