Much nicer mobo, great case (I've built in this, it's awesome), RX580 8GB.

I'd look at your local 2nd hand stuff. See if you could pick up an older gen i7. Then you could spend the extra money on a better GPU.

For the same exact price, assuming this is primarily for gaming only, this build will provide way more gaming bang for your buck. The i5 will perform better in the majority of games, the RX 580 is a nice step up from the RX 570 and it's an 8GB variant instead of 4GB, the 1TB SSD ensures that you'll be gaming off of the SSD instead of the HDD for faster load times, and the tower is pretty decent to build in and looks cool (orange is what I picked but you can also get it in green, purple, yellow, and white):

Sure, it's nicer to have 2TB of storage, but at this price point, I'd trade that extra TB for the better overall performance, and no HDDs, but if you're dead set on storage capacity, go with your original setup using the 256GB SSD and the 2TB HDD for $10 cheaper.

 

Oh, and the monitor I picked is a nicer IPS panel as opposed to the TN panel. Plus it's a 75Hz refresh rate and it supports free-sync. That's a win-win.

Nice offering but I'd change out the Geil ram I've had some customers return them due to compatibility issues with some buyers using gen 1 Ryzen, otherwise sweet build.
