Great build, but change the RAM to 2x8 GB on the same frequency, it will give you better performance.
And change the power supply to Corsair CX 450M, EVGA 500w are really bad quality and are better for office and home PCs.

It is good but there are a few improvements that can be made:
1. AMD's latest BIOS update made it so ryzen CPUs can handle up to 3200Mhz RAM. you don't have to get it that fast, but consider getting something a little faster.
2. You will need some case fans

Here is also a revised build:

RAM speed has a huge impact on Ryzen performance...

This does sacrifice modularity in the PSU cables to get the extra RAM speed though.

EDIT: While the Corsair unit mentioned is of decent quality, this Seasonic unit has proven high quality.
