You honestly don't need the 212 cooler , its not that much better than the stock wraith spire cooler & you have to order an am4 bracket separately.
You can get a 1600 for the price of the 1500x+ cooler
A few things I'd change , primarily because these are the parts I've been using for ryzen builds.
This includes 16gb ram rather than 8gb & the price 'before rebates' is actually cheaper.
I just used the same GPU as a placeholder - mainly at the time you're ready to purchase you'd just pick the best priced one. Rx 580s are still way overpriced , they should be $240-250 for the 8gb model max.

It's probably worth waiting for tomorrow for a much better price/performance offerings (namely, RX 570). Would also replace the SSD for any reputable ones. Kingston's known for bait and switching their NANDs after review. Also, would replace your power supply with a lower certified wattage of the same model.

Otherwise, looks like good enough
 
Unless you are looking to do an SLI configuration you should probably go a 500W PSU like this one for half the price: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502339166&sr=8-1&keywords=500w+psu

And with that saved money get a better SSD and maybe upgrade your ram to 16gb kit. I would go with a 2 x 8 because Ryzen loves dual channel. Also, if you are going to play FPS shooters like CSGO, Overwatch, or Rainbow Six Siege, you might want to look into a 144hz monitor, because if you are not looking to run games at 1440p a 144hz monitor will work great with this setup, because it should be able to run most games max 1080p with well above 100fps.
 

i have no idea what you said like i said a buddy of a buddy made me this v.v can you maybe make a better list i don't have the money rn i'm saving up i geth paid weekly

 
My listed GPU is sold out currently. Within the next few days it'll be cheaper and available again. Wait until then.
