Why vega? Also wheres your case? Try Pcpartpicker, as that can help with compatibility. Also why the RGB power supply, it just gives a rgb underglow or a glow if you don't have a PSU shroud, I would recommend getting a better efficiency PSU for the same price with out RGB.

thanks first of all! and i had absolutely no clue i thought its kinda cool, and case would be SHARKOON - TG5 ATX Mid Tower Case, im just insecure about the ram working with the motherboard right now, and is vega certainly bad? i heard pretty good things about it, (i would use the system as a workstation/gaming pc)

Vega isn't horrible but you can get better performance per dollar. I'll throw this all in PC part picker and make sure it works.

Well depends on how much does it cost. Vega has come down in price quite drastically, you can find great deals these days.

Is this gaming focus?

 

If so go Ryzen 5 2600 isntead and use stock cooler to save up money in order to afford the Vega 64 instead (if you want AMD GPU) as it'll give you more benefits at gaming.

 

The Power Supply is not a very good choice, you only need 550w here so shop for a better quality one, you can check out alternatives (Tier 1 and Tier 2) in here:
