No compatibility issues that I can see at all. I would price around a bit to see if you can get a nicer Ryzen and GTX, but overall looks like a nice system. Did you consider what your CPU cooling solution is going to be?

[Dxer]

Looks like a solid build.  Only thing I would probably change is the SSD and get a M.2 drive.

[Narem]

I was planning on doing that but when the m.2 slot is populated , the 2 of the sata ports are disabled

 

Note:The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled.

That is just terrible design. This doesn't sound future proof in the long run if you need to upgrade storage. Maybe different board with an M.2 so you can use the SATA when you want more space? Having a backup hard drive isn't a bad idea.

How many SATA ports do you need?

[Narem]

Not too sure, what are they for?

 

[Dxer]

SATA ports?  You just need those for additional hard drive space.

If you have a lot of hard drives you want to put into the system than yes, I can see why you would want to choose a SATA SSD over a M.2.

But if you are only going to have one or two extra hard drives, then the M.2 is a more attractive option due to the raw speed over a SATA SSD.

I was thinking of about 2 or 3 t of storage , that being split in a kinda 1/4 for ssd and the rest hard drives
