The final price of $700 needs to be BEFORE REBATES. I also plan to buy the 1060 6GB used from r/hardwareswap or ebay.

Would anyone make any changes to this build?

Thanks!

maybe a cpu lcooler? but i guess you can use the stock one for a while

Ryzen 5 stock cooler is sufficient for stock speeds and mild overclocks, but if you want to push it to 4.1ghz or something you will want a better cooler. I would get a better motherboard since the ASRock board is on the cheaper end and may not have good quality. Otherwise, this board is all compatible and should work well. Happy building!

I would get a better board and OC it if there was wiggle room in the price but this person can only spend $700 max.

Thanks for the help.

I would go with a 8 core CPU Ryzen 7 for that price. Also it's worth the extra bucks for a RX 580 8Gb.

2600 is better for gamers, 1700 is better for workstations.

Go with the build as planned, I'd not go with the Rx580, even new, unless you can upgrade the psu to a more modern DC/DC design of at least 550w. That older, group regulated Seasonic is a great, solid psu, but still only mediocre output compared to newer designs. It's plenty good for amd/1060 though.
