I don't know what your parts are, but no, they are not sufficient.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

Converted it to PCPP on behalf of OP.

 

OP: I wouldn't call these good parts, but they're not terrible. Within a $450 budget still, here's what I'd do:

Changes I made:

  • I upgraded you from the 3200G (4C4T, Vega 8 graphics) to the 3400G (4C8T, Vega 11 graphics) for better performance.
  • I kept your RAM at 8G, but swapped a single channel to stick to a pair for faster dual-channel use.
  • I dropped your storage down to a half-terabyte (still plenty for your stated use case) but upgraded it to SSD. As a person who recently bought their first SSD, I can tell you, it makes a world of a difference. Nobody should have their boot drive on spinning disk in 2020. If you still want a terabyte, you can add another half-terabyte of HDD for around $25.
  • I got rid of the thermal paste completely. You don't need it. The 3400G's stock cooler (and pretty much all stock coolers) comes with thermal paste pre-applied, and it's plenty, you don't need more. If you buy another cooler later on, consider getting some at that point (but first make sure the cooler doesn't come with it pre-applied. No sense spending money you don't need to.)

 I would get a cheaper case.

And get better ram. Better = more and faster. 

The GPU and cpu will be sharing the ram. Going with slower ram will not be ideal. 3600mhz cl16 would be best . 3200mhz cl14 at the slowest. 8gb being sharing between wouldnt be the best. 16 would be ideal.

Between the large amount and speed of ram your talking about an uplift of 20%.
