It is nice build however depends on what your expected result from it. You should have gone for RX 580 GPU if your main goal is gaming.
 
If you are not overclocking you don't need the cooler, and if you are overclocking you could buy the cheaper 2600 which apparently overclocks to about the same perfomance level a 2600X does, or very close to it. Not that there's anything wrong with adding a cooler to a 2600X, just that it makes more sense from a budget viewpoint to use it at stock or buy the cheaper CPU.

Also I agree that a better graphics card makes sense for gaming, and saving a few dollars on the CPU might help you do that.
 
You're spending too much on unnecessary hardware, and cutting corners in performance-related components. You don't need a CPU cooler, stock is enough. You don't need 750 W of power, 550 W is enough(CX550), unless you plan to CrossFire(highly not recommended). You also overspend on a fancy case, don't need such an expensive case(it's your choice of course, if you really love that case you can go with it). Fix these issues and you'll probably have the budget for an RX 580 8 GB, get that - it's better for 1080p gaming. If you still can't fit it in the budget, get a 500 GB SSD instead. Your motherboard is also on the expensive end of things, the B450 boards around the $80 mark will perform just as well as the one you chose.

It seems your focus has been on aesthetics over functionality, fix that if you want good performance.
 
I have 2600 + Hyper 212 with AsRock B350 Gaming K and coupled with RX 580.

It is easily overclocked at 3.9 Ghz and works superb at 1080p gaming.
