Help with PC build

Im building a pc for the first time and jumbled together some parts... any suggestions for improvement would be appreciated. Im not sure if two fans for the front of my case is neccessary because it already has a top fan and a rear fan. I also dont know if ill be needing a cpu cooler since the one that comes with the Ryzen 7 2700x seems good enough. The total price is about 1350 and i would like to know if i can do better for that budget. My parts are currently:

Ryzen 7 2700x
Seagate Baracuda 3.5 7200rpm Hard Drive
Msi Gtx 1070 Ti graphics card
Msi x470 gaming plus ATX am4 motherboard
G.skill ripjaw v series 16gb ram (2 x 8) 3000 speed
Nzxt h500 mid tower case with one top fan and one rear fan
Evga super nova G3 850 wat 80+ gold certified fully modular power supply
Gigabyte-GC-WB867D-I PCI express x1 wifi adaptor
 
Here yo go added a Samsung NVME boot drive and some small tweaks.

Solution
With ryzen I highly suggest getting a 2*8 gb kit don't try to buy two separate 8gb sticks and make them work together at 3000mhz.

Also not sure of availability but the new gtx 2060 basically is the same performance as a 1070ti (bit better in some cases) and the msrp is $50 less give or take
