I don't overclock, so I'd probably forego the X470 motherboard in favor of a B450 and save a little bit.
I'm not a fan of single module RAM and I'd definitely want 16GB now instead of 8GB now in hopes of getting a second 8GB module to work with what I have, later.
The SSD is too small these days. While it may be fine for a Windows install, once you get all the updates, it's going to be looking mighty thin. I'd opt for at least a 250GB SSD.

If budget is a concern, then I'd definitely drop the X470 for a B450. I'd also drop the RX580 for a lower card. I'd probably drop the SSD altogether and just partition the HDD into two logical drives. One for your OS and programs which can then be cloned over to an SSD of the same size (or larger) at...

Looks like a solid gaming setup in general but there are a few points you MAY want to address:

You can shave a little off the cost with a B450 MB.
A 120Gb SSD will fill up very quickly, even if it's just a boot drive.
A single 8Gb memory stick will work, but it'll take a little off the overall performance, 16Gb is preferable, but 8Gb is fine as long as you keep open applications to a minimum.
That RX580 is really going to want a well ventilated case and the Galaxy 03 can only carry one 120mm fan in the front.

As always, this is a SUGGESTED build:

I'm well aware of the increased cost, so if your budget won't reach, parts can be altered to reduce the price.
EDIT: Wolfshadow got there first on most of these points.

Thank you all for your suggestions it has helped me make my build better. But based on coozie7s answer i now am in search for case with a good air flow that has pre mounted fans because buying fans separately is kind of expensive. I have looked through many under 50$ cases but haven't found one that could fulfill my needs. Can you please suggest a good case for my build thats under 50 or 45 bucks?
