The biggest mistake you made on this build is that you overpaid for the power supply. there are power supplies available with the same energy efficiency up to $105 cheaper. It didn't matter which one you bought they were going to perform the same and save you money. Hell, what you bought cost more than power supplies that had better energy efficiency by up to $87. The cheapest one cost $48.98 after taxes and you would have enough to get a used GTX 1070 which is a better card for your use at $239.51 after tax. the $288.31 combined total would be cheaper than the $300 plus tax for the RX 570 and the 80+ 500w power supply. When I say energy efficiency I mean the 80+ rating on the box. your PSU is overpriced as an 80+ White 500-watt power supply should cost $40-$60. the money saved would have netted you either a better graphics card, more storage, or both if you bought some of your parts used. The front panel of the case can house 3 case fans so if you want you can install 2 more fans for better airflow The B450 motherboards compatible with Ryzen 2000 and Ryzen 3000 CPUs you can upgrade in the future as long as you upgrade the BIOS.
Grest job on putting this together Bre!
