Question Please review the system I am contemplating and comment.

[Siddhartha]

1. What YOUR PC will be used for. Non gaming. Music production, and home entertainment.

2. What YOUR budget is. This depends on which AMD Ryzen CPU I get. Right now I have my choices are the 3600, 3700, or the 3900.

3. What country USA

4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.
We can't be expected to scour the internet on your behalf, chasing down deals in your specific country... Again, help us, help YOU.

5. IF YOU have a brand preference. I will get an AMD 3000 cpu. and probably an Asrock motherboard

6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are. Hard drives contain content and case

7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds. Default speeds

8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using? 1980 x 1280 I am not actually sure...

9. WHEN do you plan to build it? Within the next couple of months
Note that it is usually not cost or time effective to choose your build more than a month before you actually plan to be using it.

10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software? Windows 10, Blu Ray playback

At the end of the day it's your money. There's only so much we can do.

Updated System so far:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700 or 3800. The 3600 is probably enough but I like the idea of having headroom to future proof.
Motherboard: Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming X
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB Series 16GB Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C17D-16GTZR
GPU: RX 590 8GB
Boot drive 660P 1 TB
Content Hard drives, carry over from my current system
Power supply: EVGA 750 GQ, 80+ GOLD 750W
Case: will use my current case
Monitor: use my current unit.

You help is appreciated

Well, perhaps I can help. My sig shows my current system, and I picked those parts from a recommendation here (it's in a thread, somewhere ). Your choices mirror mine almost exactly, and I can say with confidence that the component that has given me the fastest system I've yet built is the Samsung 970 PRO NVMe drive. It benches at about three times the speed of my other SSDs, and is crazy fast. I think you are smart to go with a 3rd gen Ryzen. I am air cooling my CPU and as I am typing this I cannot hear a peep from my old Antec Sonata box. I haven't stressed this build yet to see what temps I would get, but the games I have played thus far (Prey, Shadow of the Tomb Raider) have performed excellently. So far I am very pleased with what I now have, and with the Corsair RM650 PSU, the lot came to about $800. Not bad for an entirely new setup I can use for gaming, photo processing, and hanging out here. Good luck with your build.

RE-EDIT: One last thought: A month or so after your build is done, everything is humming along (with luck) and you have little more left to do than OC and bench it, don't be surprised if every component you see here or on the Egg appears to be the one you should have bought. No fair second guessing yourself. I wasn't prepared for the dip in excitement that followed the assembly of my new rig. I didn't go the bling, RGB route with my RAM and fans (hell, I'm 70 yrs old!), so there's no light show, just the quickest machine I've yet had. I really enjoyed doing the upgrade, and have no qualms about my choices.
