Thank you so much for the advice, everyone. I'll be sure to keep it in mind for future reference.

I am new to pc building so I need advice for later on, and I need to know exactly what faults are in my choosing so I don't do something improper, or something that will just limit me.
So, let's say I have about $500 dollars to spend on pc upgrades, and I wanted a different case so I could fit it in the cubby of my desk, therefore allowing me to have more space in my room for other stuff. I would plan on doing some gaming, and some work. I wouldn't overclock anything since I have no reason to in my eyes. Really, nothing TOO crazy. Just something that'll get me medium settings in 1080p at the minimum if I am honest.
So, I came up with something priced at $490.66 total (at the time of making this post). Tell me how you all think of it and if there is something dumb that I did, lemme know. Oh, and, the situation is hypothetical, so, it I did do something dumb, don't worry, I haven't spent a penny on anything. Plus, for reference, I currently have a Dell Precision T5500 with a RX580 put into there, with it running on 6 GB RAM.
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
Cooler: Corsair H80i
Motherboard: ASRock A320M-ITX
RAM: 16 GB G.Skill Aegis at 2800 MHz
GPU: I currently run a RX580, I don't see a reason to upgrade this.
Case: Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini ITX
PSU: 550 watt Corsair CX, 80+ Bronze Certified
Again, just wanna have your input on this, so I don't make mistakes in the future.
Just looking for your thoughts

Last night I had went back into part picker and kept what suggestions I had gotten in mind. I removed the Corsair and then went on to change the CPU, PSU, RAM, and Motherboard. So, I will list the new list and you guys can tell me if it's a great improvement. Also, this raised the price to being right under $500 so this will be either above budget or below budget depending on time. Plus, I also am showing the changes in this post just in case you feel the need to scroll up.
CPU:
Ryzen 5 1600Ryzen 5 2600 (Also using the cooler that comes in the box with the cpu)Motherboard:
ASRock A320M-ITXGigabyte B450 I Aorus proRAM:
16 GB G.Skill Aegis at 2800 MHz16GB ADATA XPG Gammix DDR4-3000SSD: Kingston A400 (This is pretty cheap, but, it's something. Better than a HDD.)
Case: Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini ITX
PSU:
550 watt Corsair CX, 80+ Bronze Certified550 watt Corsair RMx 80+ Gold, fully modularSo, those are the changes I had made. Looking over these I am more confident this time around. Other than the SSD, maybe. But I don't mind getting rid of it. Since, this time things seem much more promising than the last list. But, perhaps there could be things that are still able to be changed around. So, I don't mind people putting their input on this as well.
