I think I'm going to start saving towards these parts: pcpartpicker.com/list/WNjDV6
Give me your opinions. I do plan on moving some hardware from this current rig to it (like my PSU and hard drives). I'm still on the fence with the case, although I've had it before and LOVED it. I just want to be able to do some custom paint work on it (or vinyl wrap it).

Solid build so far i'd say. Your chosen CPU+MOBO are a great combo and future proof.
As for big storage, i'd recommend this HDD here

and for a OS only SSD this one here (it's samsung chips, i researched this brand few months back)

The samsung evo 860 1TB is available for a more than decent price as well if you're looking for a separate games… See More

The only thing I would add is a large ssd for the operating system and games! I'd love to see build updates when you get it!

I've heard a lot of good things about that case. It's big, but can handle any component you throw at it.
Watch for sales, ASUS and GIGABYTE have B450 boards that go under $120. I think Gigabyte also has a X470 that goes around $120 as well.

Looks great, but I am going to parrot a bit of what Jonathan and Abdelrahman have said. The VRMs on the MSI B boards are weaker than others, and going up to an X470 will help futureproof for the 3xxx and 4xxx series. Though if you are set on a B450 board, the GIGABYTE B450 Aorus Pro Wifi is a great board with better VRMs than the MSI one. They are still weaker than on say a Crosshair VII or Aorus X470 Gaming series, but better than the MSI ones.
That said, running at stock with a 2700X… See More
you will not run into an issue. It is coming into the 3xxx series and above which may have higher power draw, and overclocking that will see limitations.

as jonathan said x470 should be better but i suggest waiting for the ryzen 3000 series.

Only thing I am seeing that I would do different is an X470 board instead, as it will house future ryzen cpu's nicely with better VRM's to support them if you decide down the road to do any of the new ryzen cpu's coming out. And just in general should yield better temps and stability because of having better VRM's.
