Consider a Ryzen 5 3600 if you can. The 2600X works too, but not ideal. You need just enough power.
The number x in my message was a mistake, but you pointed out the 3600 as a total waste of time, and suggested it wasn’t worth it.
The 3600 would be a more affordable option and based on your area, you might find one for around $180. If you have a nearby microcenter or browse forum discussions on FS, you could likely secure it for $180. Additionally, save some money by searching the for sale forum for a GTX 1070. A seller is offering 1070s for $120, which would give you extra funds to purchase the more expensive 3600 and a higher-quality NVME drive.

Switch to the 3600 model instead of the MSI GeForce GTX 1650 Super 4 GB gaming card.
Is there any reason why the missing part is about $40 more than the available one, and the one I own is just 8 GB with only 4? Wouldn’t that affect my ability to play games like Modded GTA or Minecraft, which are tough once you add mods?
