Doesn't really get better than this for a budget oriented system. The 1600 AF comes with a wraith spire cooler, it's about as good as the Ryzen 5 2600, and you've got basically the cheapest good AM4 motherboard paired with decent memory. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?
