Fractal Design Focus G is fairly cheap and OK to build in. The Corsair 100R is OK as well, but has horrible cable management.

 

Also:

You want 3000Mhz RAM at a minimum (look for G.Skill Aegis), Ryzen, especially first gen, benefits greatly from fast memory.

That SSD is a poor deal. Look up the Inland SSDs, for $3 more you could have 500GB (or for ~$20 less you could stay with 250GB). They are Micro Center's brand, and they are good SSDs; I have used these many times.

if you want a higher quality case you should find a slightly cheaper graphics card and sacrifice a little performance for quality or use these

Since your board is MicroATX, you can get the Coolermaster Q300L

 

If you want to stick to ATX cases to keep future expansion options open (in case you want to go to an ATX board later) you could get the Focus G, SPEC-04 or the Thermaltake Core G21 TG Edition. You could also look at the Coolermaster MB510L or MB511 which are around $50/€50

Corsair SPEC-04 works well for a budget case, and is relatively easy to build in.  There are two versions to choose from if you want tempered glass or an acrylic side panel.  A nice perk to the TG version is that it's a full view of the side, while the acrylic has a window on a metal panel.  Let me know if you have any questions about the case.
