I've been messing around with this build for a while, but i'm scared that it won't work for one reason or another. This is my first ever build, so all I'm asking is, is this build good enough to work out. I used pc part picker, this seemed like the easiest way for me and you to understand. This is my budget, so you don't need to suggest any other expensive items.

Looks like you haven't factored in the RTX 2070 in that total.

If you haven't already bought the items I would recommend going with a different brand than Gigabyte for your graphics card as they tend to have cooling issues and are an all around low end brand for almost the same price as other manufactures such as Asus or EVGA.

I have experience with them I believe they have a good warranty, however I wouldn't go with them if I were you.

That EVGA graphics card looks good. However I don't believe that you need a X570 board, I'm not sure though, I will ask the community. The other thing is I have not herd of "Azerty" as I am a US citizen that is probably why. I would recommend ordering off of amazon if it is available to you.

Ok, I checked with the community and these are two of the best answers: 

 

Slottr said: 

"One reason could be that you would need a bios update, but that's really it. Go look at a B450 Tomahawk though. Performs just as well as an X470 board and you only lose SLI, which you shouldn't need anyways depending on your workload"

 

Vejnemojnen said: "Depends on budget. I would wager, you shall be fine even on a B450 mobo. I see no reason against the latter"

 

I would recommend this motherboard: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6hF48d/asus-prime-x470-pro-atx-am4-motherboard-prime-x470-pro this is the one I have and have been very pleased with it. If you do get a different one try going with either Asus or msi. If you don't mind paying the extra the motherboard you picked out looks awesome.

Consider using the MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard.

 

I'd also suggest the 1TB Intel 660p NVMe drive. Faster than the SATA III MX500, but lower write endurance. However, the rated endurance works out to more than 50GB written every day for 10 years.

Where are you getting that info from regarding cooling issues ?

 

How do you figure that Gigabyte are a low end brand ? That is just not true at all.
