Do you have any sort of priorities such as processor graphics card etc? and what will you be using this for?

Or the CPU to the 3700X however then I think you need to change the motherboard to a X470, then you'll need to change the case to a ATX version or a different case.

Change the EVO to the Intel 660P 1TB NVMe, it fast enough that you won't notice the difference and saves you a considerable amount of money. Use some of those savings on the memory and get 3200mhz instead of 3000 as Ryzen performs better with faster memory. You could also use part of the savings to go X470 instead as I'm not sure if the B450 boards will work out of the box without a BIOS upgrade. Everything else looks good.

I've heard bad about the 660p, but nonetheless worth saving money on the SSD I suppose, I went with Corsair instead and I think the one I chose is better than the 660p. I upped the RAM to 3200MHz and upped GPU to the cheapest 2070 with over an 1800MHz boost clock out of the box. As for the motherboard, I specifically chose it as it supports MSI Flashback, a means of flashing the motherboard without a supported CPU. All of this and it's still within budget. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/nxM93b

It's a good build, will easily handle 1440P gaming.
