The motherboard isn't great. It's worth spending a bit more to get a better one that will also allow you to upgrade in the future.

Again, with the ram, until you get your second stick, you won't get full performance, as running in single channel will give you about 80% of the full cpu performance.

Psu is ok, maybe go for the 550W version.

Don't know what your budget is, if you could get a slightly better PSU that would be good. 

 

Motherboard isn't great, you won't be able to overclock much, if at all. 

 

Also again don't know price/location but you might be able to get an AMD rx 5700xt for around the same price as a 2060, with the 5700xt being quite a bit more powerful.
