New entry level gaming rig

So I'm planning on building a new computer using the Ryzen Platform. However I am having some doubts about what I have planned to use for my new rig as i have made a build list that is significantly cheaper than most of the build logs I have found online. As a note I will be using my current psu, graphics card and ssd for my new computer. 

If anyone is able to settle my doubts that would be much appreciated as I am a new pc builder, having been given the pc that my brother built.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/JhTnD8 

That is the link to the parts I plan on using, however i might swap out the Ryzen 3 1200 with a Ryzen 3 1300x or a Ryzen 5 1400

Many Thanks,

dxza

Ryzen wants fast RAM, but when on a budget, the cheaper the better. This one if you want a new one, but you should really consider getting used 2133Mhz DDR4 since it will be upgraded in the future.

I would be a little programming as that is a hobby of mine and also a part of my A level course, and of course I would be gaming on the computer as well

Get rid of that. CX500M is a green label CXM, which are [profanity] bad,.

Because it's shit quality.

Motherboard: MSI - B350 PC MATE ATX AM4 Motherboard  (£79.47 @ CCL Computers)

Total: £326.26

Better RAM. Upgrade your PSU when you have some more money. It will also be worth upgrading that GPU soon as well. Don't bother with a 1300x, get an R3 1200 or R5 1400.

can I ask why not to bother with a 1300x?

What is wrong with the ram that I have chosen?

Exact same CPU as the 1200, just with slightly higher clock speed. Overclock the 1200 slightly and you have a 1300x for $20 less.

Not fast enough. 2800-3200MHz is ideal for Ryzen, but 2666MHz is fine to save some money and is the lowest speed RAM I'd recommend with Ryzen.
