Is This a Good Value Build?

I'm looking to build a good value pc for some casual gaming and for productivity.
Looking for some feedback on the parts I've chosen so far. I have tried to choose high quality but still good value parts.

Ryzen 5 2600
Msi B450 Tomahawk
Corsair Vengeance 16gb 3000
970 evo plus 500gb nvme ssd
wb blue 1tb
RX580 8gb (brands are mostly the same)
NZXT H500
evga supernova 650 w g3
Acer KG251QF monitor
Should be around $1600 looking at prices on static ice from good sellers.
Any feedback is appreciated
Thanks!

      I did look at this however, there are some poor quality parts here as well as there not being a monitor.
      I wouldn't trust a pc that has a $1000 gpu and the total cost is $1400, that doesn't seem right.
      Also has an old motherboard, slow ram, unbranded psu, only a 128 gb unbranded ssd.
      Whilst it is a good value for a 2080ti, I don't think it would be made with good quality parts.

    Change the vid card to a GTX 1660 (~$30 bucks more but 10-20% better performance, less wattage, cooler temps). G-Sync will work with that Freesync monitor too.

    Change the motherboard to Asrock or Asus. MSI have crap BIOS and support.

    Drop the PSU to a Seasonic Focus Gold 550W and save some $$

    Cases are very subjective, but I'd recommend the Fractal Design Meshify or Define series cases over the NZXT. Very high quality cases for the same money.

      Thank you for that.
      I chose that motherboard as other reviews said that msi had better build quality and power delivery to the cpu as well as better cooling.

        You won't be overclocking (and there's only minimal benefits from doing so with these chips) so not really a concern.

    A couple of suggestions I would make… IMHO The PSU is overkill for a entry/mid level build, I'd look for something semi-modular ~>$100 80+ bronze - would take easy $50 off the build
    Then use that $50 towards faster ram, AMD's really shine with faster ram although the 3000MHz you've selected would be fine
    But TBH you can't beat the deal that @phunkydude has shown you, yes some of the parts aren't as quite high end, but the GPU smashes a RX580 & you could easily add/upgrade this system as you needed in the future (more or bigger HHD's, more/faster ram). The RTX2080 is normally a $1,000+ GPU so the value your getting for this system smashes it in price performance
    Good luck
