Jeez, not much for options. It's either lower quality or the top end of the spectrum and those P2's are expensive. I guess your best bet is that B3 750W, it's not the best unit nor the worst and with those parts it will be fine.

Although it's a bit disappointing they don't have G3's, G2's or another brand such as Seasonic.

You'll want a better quality PSU and preferably at 550W, faster memory around 3000mhz as Ryzen performs better with it & change the 1060 3gb to the 6gb version not only for the increased vram but it performs better due to a higher cuda count.

Or build it yourself and get something much better.

That's solely up to you, the B3 will be enough for that build however that P2 is much better in quality, longer warranty, better power efficiency & would handle any upgrade your threw at it including multiple GPU's if need be, it's just that price that's high.

What about getting the B3 for now and then later on (year or so, maybe longer) buying a better PSU for around like $60-$70 when needed? Changing out the PSU's isn't too bad and this option would save you like $100.
