Overclock the 1600 and it will reach 1600X speeds.
Added a bigger-sized SSD. One of the fastest SSD's on the market.
Added a Strix GPU. It will sync lighting with your ASUS Strix motherboard.
NZXT S340 Elite is a gorgeous case with a tempered glass side panel.

I would prefer not to pay more for lighting sync, I'll go with the sata drive. What's the benefits of the s340 vs s340 elite? Is it just the glass?
No worries - then I would get a MSI Gaming X GPU, instead of the Duke. It has better VRM's, so it will be quieter, cooler, and have more overclocking headroom. The Duke is pretty much a poor man's Strix.
Yes, the only main difference is the glass.
changed a few things, how does this look in comparison? PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
You have room in your budget to get a RYzen 7 1700 if you want to. Other than that, it looks solid!
