Build overall looks good, although I'll throw in that I'd go with DDR4-3600 for your memory since that's the sweetspot for third generation Ryzen CPUs.
Were you trying to leave room leftover for a monitor/peripherals? If your budget is $2000 for just the computer itself you've got a lot of room leftover, but if you're including monitor/mouse/keyboard and such in the budget then I'd say you're about on the mark for the cost of the computer. -
Thank you very much and I already own a monitor so the only thing I need to buy beside the computer is a keyboard/mouse.

In that case, you've got a lot of budget left over and I'd personally recommend upping your price range on the GPU to about $500. At that range you'll find cards like the 2070 Super or the upcoming RTX 3070 (which I'd wait for, though initial availability will be very scarce if the rest of the 3000 series cards that have launched are anything to go by). That will still leave room leftover for Windows, some peripherals, and tax within the $2000 budget you said
