This should also give you a good upgrade path in the future. You could skip the CPU cooler - the stock cooler of the CPU is decent unless you plan to heavily OC. With the money saved a Gigabyte 3-fan GPU would be a potentially quieter card if that is a concern to you. 

You could also just get a B450 board, but with the recent announcement that Ryzen 4000 will not be supported on B450 I think a X570 board would be the better choice with this kind of budget - but it's another way to save some dollary-doos.

The case choice is obviously very subjective. You could get a Meshify C, 275R Airflow etc. Just make sure it's not closed off on all sides with glass/solid panels. Mesh front is preferable for better airflow.
