Meant for 1080p above 60fps maybe even with some streaming. Lmk what everyone thinks about it!

8.5/10.
-No SSD? Even a 250GB SSD for an OS only drive would be good.
-Low quality power supply. Better: Corsair CX550(black letters only)/ TX/ RM/ RMX, Seasonic Focus/ Focus Plus, or EVGA Supernova G3 as a few examples.

=Not taking points off for this, but the added case fans aren't needed unless you're going to replace the stock fans with them. Leave the front panel for a liquid cooler.
It has already been shown in a few situations that adding front fans to NZXT's H500 series is negligible, or even detrimental to it's thermal performance:

I agree with Phaaze88 better grap a SSD this is a major impact. If you are tight in budget get some cheaper ram (anyway ryzen max supported speed is 2933MHz but it can runfaster, I myself have 3200 with the Ryzen 5 2600).
Check out also the Linus Tech Tips Video "Does RAM speed REALLY matter?" they did some benchmarks with different ram's.

His budget was $900, what power supply would fit the price range if I replace it do you think?

You could even get the above with a 3300x (very close in gaming performance to 3600) and save $50 for elsewhere, perhaps a 1TB SSD or something.

Fail on my part, as I didn't notice that the 2600 has jumped up in price so much, that you may as well grab a 3600:

It's just 1080p 60, is RTX even necessary?
There's also Nvidia's 3000 series launching later in the year.
