You'd probably save $50 bucks on that build if you can wait a month.  Or maybe decide to use something new.  Other than that I would try for 3200MHz RAM if you can afford it.  Lastly, are you using a power supply you already have?  There isn't one listed.

What resolution are you gaming in, or using?  The 2070 isn't the best deal it's caught in the middle of the good 1080p and 1440p cards, and it's pricey.

 

I'd look into going 1TB SSD for additional storage too, since they're down around $100 now.

Fine build. But yes as Nick said the next gen Ryzen is coming out soon and they will be really worth the money/wait and if you want the 2700x the price for it will drop as well.

Here are the changes I would make if you can afford it.  I also added a PSU, but choose whichever you'd like.

I'd go with a Vega 56 or 2060 for 1080p 144Hz in esports games.

For a gaming rig, this will perform a bit better for the same price:

The 9600K beats the 2700x in gaming loads by a decent margin. The SPEC-06 tower provides better airflow while keeping your white theme. The Western Digital blue 500GB drive was only a few dollars more, so it made sense to use that instead. Also note that the cooler and GPU are now also black and shite to match the theme you had going.  

 

It could also be worth it to wait until July 7th for new Ryzen chips. Ryzen might turn the tables on gaming performance at that time, but we don't know yet. If anything, though, it'll likely shift pricing around across the board.

looks good, but amazon prices aren't the same, it needs to be amazon because newegg shipping cost to puerto rico are high

i upgraded the ram, but the ssd on amazon its like 25$ more, i can use this instead of the corsair one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017HA3SQ8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

 

i can only use amazon due shipping cost to puerto rico on other pages

Yeah definitely find the right prices for you.  Just giving examples.  

 

Edit:

Amazon has the drive at the same price.  If you wanna check again.

Are you sure it's as bad as you think? It looks like if you order just one item, the shipping is an astronomical $40 to San Juan, however, if you were to get all 5 of the Newegg items, the shipping is $52, which seems more reasonable. If you were to try and get all parts via Amazon, the cost winds up being about $140 more, so it's still cheaper to go with the Newegg route. Here's a screenshot:

Everything is on Amazon:

if you can wait one or two month, you should. ryzen 2 is just around the corner (release on July 7th), and it looks promising so far. it will match single core performance (gaming performance) with the latest intel and win in multi-core performance.

another suggestion is unless the x470 chipset have some feature you use and not offered on b series chipset, dont buy the x470 motherboard. get the b series chipset, like b350 or b450 if that exist? its should be cheaper and still support mild overclocking. and given you are not including an after market cpu cooler, i guess you are not gonna OC ur cpu to the limit.
