If you don't like the H500, don't get it. There are other options. You can get the 460x for around $100 which is essentially the same case as the 570x so if you like that, I'd look at the 460x for sure.

I would go 4k, but like I said, if you're going 1080p144Hz, I'd get the Acer gn246hl.

jkclek wrote 2) Do I need extra fans for my case

You don't need any extra fans, no. The H500 comes with 2. You could run the 2 included fans in the front as intake, and buy a 3rd fan to use as exhaust in the rear if you wanted but the 2 included fans will be fine.

jkclek wrote 3) Is the cooler that comes with the cpu good enough?

Yes. You might want to consider an upgrade if you decide to overclock though as the stock cooler would start to limit you. Ryzen is pretty efficient though so a mid range ($40-60) air cooler would more than do the job, and the stock cooler will probably let you do a bit of overclocking.

jkclek wrote 4) Should I get an extra ssd or Hard drive?

Like I said, add whatever capacity HDD you think you'll need. If you only think you'll need 500GB, then just the 860 EVO is fine.

jkclek wrote 5) Can I overclock with this build?

Yes.

jkclek wrote 4) anything I am missing

For the PC, no. For your set-up, maybe? Keyboard, mouse, speakers/headset, etc potentially. You have all the required components there to build a working PC though.
