Is this a solid build?

It's a good start, you don't need the thermal compound or the case fans. And you can definitely get a better cooler than a Hyper 212 Evo when the Cryorig R5 and Phanteks TC-12 exist. So I would suggest making a couple of minor improvements:

What are you going to be using it for? On paper it seems solid but what are using this for, just for video games, streaming while playing video games, rendering, CAD?

what constantine said, if you're going to be rendering stuff and gaming ryzen is a great choice, just keep in mind intel will yield slightly high frames while intel does a good job at gaming

An R5 1600 nor is a R7 1700 if want the two extra cores are not $100 more both of which come with a pretty decent stock cooler, too. Plus I never said you HAD to go with Ryzen, it's just what I would do.

Woah, no need to get hostile, just trying to help. If you don't want to get the Ryzen chip just go with the 7700k it's still a solid chip.

I video never implies it outperforms it, though.

Actually when AMD released their Ryzen chips they said it rivaled with Intels best. The best intel chip other than the new core I9 chips was the i7-6950X, in a UserBenchmark test the 6950X gets %103 while the 1800X gets an %91.8 and the 7700k gets %100. Not enough proof?

A little bit more but better component choices all around.
