Ryzen is extremely competitive now.

It'd be worthwhile picking a newer chipset for more futureproof standards like PCIe 4.0 and more USB 3.2 ports. That means X570 chipset, or B550 for cheaper option. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_chipsets#AM4_chipsets

More specs and playing around here: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/mkmxq3

NZXT H1 option, but case not selectable right now: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/T8qKYH (an H1 will be ~$630 when available)

Interesting SFX PSU here, not too pricey: be quiet! SFX-L Power 600W

The Thermaltake H550 TG aRGB is a nice case to look at.
