Well you have added a 2TB SSD (!) that is almost $200, so that will have inflated the cost a lot

Thats great but also about 50 dolars more then my budget, what do u think I can change to lower the price but wont affect my game play. Maybe the case?
I think you're at just about the lower limit of what it's sensible to spend, in that spending less will result in you spending more to replace parts much sooner.
Would there be any way of saving up the extra even if it meant delaying the purchase perhaps?

if they dont have on amazon I will go to my local Gaming Store to find it cause they sell PC parts but a bit expensive and might not have older modules
Be careful you don't end up spending more in a brick and mortar, if budget is tight. Microcentres can apparently have good deals. Why not other online retailers that aren't Amazon?
I'm in the UK rather than US, so not familiar with any differences of shopping in the US

@THORLLAMAS approximately where are you located geographically? If there's a microcenter near you, then yes, they often have deals that are as good as or better than what you can find online. I have a Microcenter in my city and I love going there. But you should also look online at Newegg and B&H photo. Both are reputable sellers and can sometimes be cheaper than Amazon. PCPartPicker automatically selects the lowest price it can find among online sellers (and indeed Newegg and B&H were both sellers in the list @Oussebon put together).
If you do go to a physical store, do be just a little bit careful not to make an impulse purchase. It seems like you're new to the PC building game, so if you're seeing tempting items on the shelves (or if a salesman is leading you down a different path), there's nothing wrong with sleeping on it, doing more research, and then coming back another day to make the purchase.
From the recommendations so far in this thread, you should be able to put together a Ryzen 3 3100 and Radeon RX 570 build for a bit under $600. I would try to stick with that as a baseline, even if it means you have to save up a little longer.
On the high end of the PC spectrum you get diminishing returns when you start spending many hundreds of dollars for that last 10% of speed. Well, on the low end of the PC spectrum you get a kind of similar inverse effect happening, where you can end up sacrificing a proportionally large amount of performance to save those last few dollars. This is why it's often better to wait a little longer and save up if ~$100 makes the difference between an APU system and a system with a dedicated GPU.

Oh I see! I'm afraid I don't know much about pricing in that region. But if you're ordering from American online retailers then yes, Newegg is a reputable seller. They are one of the larger computer parts and consumer electronics sellers and I personally haven't had any issues with the parts I've ordered from them.
