Zen 3 due for release mid October mite be worth waiting.

Nvidia just released new gpu s, next is the 3070 in October but will be hard to get. But mite lower prices on other models.

Im just guessing with the graphics card as you havent specified what you play or the resolution you use. Also with the new nvidia/amd graphic cards coming out now/soon it may be better to wait until they have released before buying if you can. Obviously second hand will get you a better card like a 5700xt or 2070/super or allow an upgrade to a ryzen 3700x​

As its only 1080p you could drop the 2070 super on my list to a standard 2060 which will be perfect at that resolution and still be viable at 1440p if you upgrade your monitor later. Only caveat is that the 3070/3060 might push these prices down ina month or 2.

As @mickyflinn said you can save a nice bit of money on MSI boards like this one

SO your basket could look like this and includes a better cooler than the stock one.
