PCPartPicker Part List: pcpartpicker.com/list/Bfc9p8

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor ($204.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard ($114.99 @ Best Buy)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($74.99 @ Best Buy) (the one you picked is good too)
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB GAMING OC Video Card ($419.99 @ B&H)
Case: NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.98 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: Corsair TXM Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply ($109.99 @ Corsair)
Monitor: MSI Optix G241 23.8" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor ($189.99 @ B&H)
Total: $1184.92

This is what I would go for to get a solid 144hz experience.The stuff you got wont do 144hz, some of the components you picked are way on the lower end. Better be safe than sorry. There have been problems with the 5000 series RXs but gigabyte is a pretty good brand, RTX 2070 supers are $500 on AMD website, if you would go for that.

I'll look into 2070 super, I have microcenter down the street where I think I can get some of those parts for a bit cheaper

Missing storage and peripherals.

5600XT isn't exactly low-end, nor is an R5 2600. More like mid ranged. Also, the 5600XT is perfectly capable of 1080p144Hz. You might have to dial settings back to "High" on some more demanding games to get 100+FPS, but you'll still be making good use of a 144Hz monitor with this kind of set-up.

OP;
PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($172.39 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard ($114.99 @ Best Buy)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Crucial P1 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($119.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon RX 5600 XT 6 GB PULSE Video Card ($293.98 @ Newegg)
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P300A Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case ($59.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12III 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($64.99 @ B&H)
Monitor: VIOTEK GN24CW 24.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor ($159.99 @ Amazon)
Headphones: Kingston HyperX Cloud II 7.1 Channel Headset ($99.99 @ Best Buy)
Total: $1156.30

Add your $30/35 keyboard.

If you can add another $30, get this monitor instead;

If you're getting as 5600XT, just get the Sapphire Pulse at this price tbh. Maybe look at RTX 2060's as well though, can get them for $300-310. 2060 and 5600XT trade blows on performance, but the 2060 does have RTX and DLSS, if you're at all interested in that. RTX 2070 Super is way out of your budget.
