Ryzen is the way to go for a workstation build right now, currently waiting on their Zen3/Ryzen 4000/5000 announcement in the next month or two.
Getting a B550 chipset looks like a good way to go, minimal functional difference between it and the nominally more premium X570 chipset, though B550 doesn't need active cooling which is great. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_chipsets#AM4_chipsets
I was tempted by the NZXT H1 option, but the damn thing is sold out all the time, and frikken expensive at $630.
Cooler Master NR200 case sounds fantastic.
