Thoughts and/or changes

Replace that with B560 pro 4 AC

and replae that with a WB blue sn550 or samsung 980 nvme

I really wouldn't do that if @Why_Me expects to take remove PL1 limits. The Z590(M) Pro4 is the only Pro4 ever worth buying because it swaps out the shitty sinopowers for 50A Vishays, even if it's more expensive. The 6-core Rocket Lakes can draw quite a bit of power if not limited, reeeeally wouldn't expect good things out of running Rocket Lake on discrete parts.

Yes, this time around ASRock has sourced SM4503s instead of SM4336s, but they are identically performing.

If the Z590 price is a little too high, the B560M TUF is solid and sits at $150 or so. And it comes with AX wifi as well.
edit: I see you've already decided on it, good choice.

I'd look at something like the Sabrent Rocket instead of the Blue SSD. Similarly priced, but faster.

agreed i saw a sabrent rocket for 99 bucks recently. 1tb. has a very large SLC cache too.

the sabernet price equivalent is faster yes, its QLC however, so if thats's something the OP might avoid.
TLC sabernet is 130$, 30$ more than the blue, by that i might just pick a Samsung 980 or a crucial p5
 
Well precisely it's $20 more, the Blue is $110. If he could find an A80, that might be better but the Rocket still ain't too bad. The vanilla 980 might be worth the while at the same price though, you're right. P5 overheats, on the other hand. I wouldn't bother with the P5.
