Aiming for a PC under RM4000 - RX5700 XT / RTX2060

Hi,

First of all, I've never built one nor have the experience to build a pc. Complete amateur. But Im planning to do it ofcourse with the help of some googling/youtube.

Manage to get these specs cramped within the budget(RM4028) and im hoping anyone could suggest me something to swap out without exceeding the budget range(originally was RM3500, so the limit already been burst basically xd) :

CPU : Ryzen 5 3600X
GPU : RX 5700 XT Gaming X / ZOTAC RTX 2060
MoBo : Asrock b450m Steel Legend
RAM : 16GB DDR4 3200mhz (2x8GB)
PSU : Thermaltake Litepower 650W
SSD : 256GB M.2 2280 NVMe
HDD : 500GB(Used)
CASE : Tecware Nexus M2

Im sort of happy with it but the more I do the research about some parts I got conflicted and keep on swapping. If you could suggest me a better rig within the budget than what I've come up with I'd be much more appreciated!

btw I'll be using the system for work(chrome browse) and gaming of course most of the time.

1. Im not sure whether the mobo I've picked is good enough or could better
2. Originally I went for RTX2060 , but then a friend suggest RX5700 and the reviews both are great(?) but I am still not sure which to go with
3. For the CPU, I probably can make a sacrifice to lower it to 3500X instead for the other components but I am not sure if that'll be good idea

Which should I pick? Illegear

Hi, I'd like to reach out to any laptop enthusiast out here to get me out of my dilemma

Been looking around for a decent "entry" level laptop that i could use on a daily basis and could handle a bit of a lite gaming and come across these Tongfang's product. These two fit my budget even after a little upgrade perfectly(RM3000 - 3500) but I cant decide which one should I go for (T_T) Intel vs Ryzen

Im using them for just a light work of photo/video editing, a little bit of gaming(android emulator, csgo, league), and just a normal daily usage of perhaps browsing and that's about it for now that i could think of.

If you have an even better suggestion apart from these two I'd be more appreciated to know. The only thing im concerned of is its weight, as I prefer a lightweight laptop cuz I'll be carrying it around for most of the times. But still, open to suggestions. If it weight more yet will deliver more within the budget range I'd no reason to turn it down.

Anyway, sorry for wall of text, have a good day! :)
