Could I do any better than this for a $750 build? Are there any changes you would make?
I plan on adding more fans, and storage eventually.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor ($133.00 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASRock B450 Pro4 ATX AM4 Motherboard ($79.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($64.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Intel 660p Series 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB OC Video Card ($269.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Cooler Master MasterBox NR600 (w/o ODD) ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12III 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($49.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Total: $727.94

Faster RAM. Better case, and PSU. Also has a better SSD. I'd take the slight hit on CPU to get a better GPU within budget, but up to you if you'd rather go for the R5 3600+GTX 1660 over R5 2600+GTX1660Ti. I would personally also try to spend the extra $30 or so for an MSI B450 Tomahawk over the B450 Pro4.
