I haven’t checked anything but much of that is older hardware that I don’t expect to be profitable except as a long term play where you mine at a loss to hold till value is greater than the initial cost. You also don’t include your current electric rate which is needed to figure the operating power cost for the rig.

I haven’t checked the power draw but iirc the 5700X and 5600X have the same TDP before it jumps up significantly so I would expect possibly better efficiency from it though I’m not sure those cost difference.

You also don’t mention what exactly you intend to mine with this rig to know possible profitability though it can be researched what is most profitable for the mining capable components.

at this point if you dont already have them i wouldnt buy gpus prior to nvidia 3000 series or amd 6000 series. however if you have free electricity then if you somehow got in super early and diamond handed a super lucky coin then maybe just maybe you would make money. here is a site to see what a 1070 can make. keep in mind you need to adjust for your own electric cost.
