My tweaks:

 

-240GB SSD (easier to chuck an HDD in later once full, won't have to reinstall windows)

-RX 580 8GB version (allows for more flex when games start relying more heavily on >4GB worth of textures or doing VSR now to improve 1080p)

-PSU bumped up to 520W for more headroom (and efficiency) and option to go into higher-power GPU later on (still 5 year warranty)
