I changed the 2600x to the 2600, you can overclock the 2600 anyways to meet the speeds of the x model and it saves a bit of money. I also changed the ram to 3000mhz instead of 2666 as ryzen benefits from faster ram a lot. I also changed the gpu from rtx 2060 to vega 56. It's cheaper, and although it has around 5-10% less performance, you gain 2gb vram in exchange, which means it'll last longer into the future without the minimum framerate suffering due to lack of vram. So in the long run, it's a stronger option than the 2060 is. I also upgraded the psu to something a little more modern. But most importantly, I managed to fit in a 1tb ssd in place of the 500gb you had in there before.

slight over budget but you have 1TB storage and a good quality PSU here. Also higher speed ram which ryzen zen+ prefers.

This build is black and white themed with excellent performance. The 9400F will beat the 2600x in gaming even when they are OCed (benchmarks below) while being cheaper. Just as a point of clarification, you said "basic productivity" which I assume just means web browsing, email, office, etc. If that is the case, cool. If you meant actually productivity like modeling or anything along those lines, go with the 2600x. This build also provides 1TB of SSD storage instead of the 500 you had:

Something to consider. Yes, it will be a little bit over budget and you will have to give up your NVMe drive, but you'll gain in GPU:

MB and GPU require Newegg Coupons which may expire soon. Of course, we could go with a less expensive MB if you want to drop the total below $1000.

Not going to be much difference when using an RTX 2060.

Yep, fair point, but I do like to build with upgradability in mind so that if they choose to go beyond a 2070, it's just a drop-in upgrade without worrying about the CPU. Likewise the CPU also has an upgrade path up to the 9900K (stock with stock boost clocks only, though. No OCing). It might also have an upgrade path to the next Intel CPU as well but we don't know yet. And of course RAM and SSD can be expanded on as well. That covers all the bases :)
