That build wont display anything at all because there is no GPU in the build.

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

Not bad, but can be improved.

 

3600 instead of 3600X. Saves you a bit of money for the same performance.

A cheaper cooler in the cooling performance range. The CM 212 is actually pricey. 

Consider MSI or Asus boards. Asrock has strange BIOS behavior.

You'd want DDR4 3600 CL16 for Ryzen 3000.

Replace the SSD with some that has DRAM cache. At least Blue if it has to be WD.

Avoid Seagate drives. Not reliable. And if you have to have an HDD, get at least 2TB.

And the PSU, you'd want something from the PSU Tier List, the one here on the forum.

AND you lack a GPU (graphics card).

Everything looks looks okay, except-
No GPU 
You don't need a 3600X, i'd recommend getting a plain old 3600. 
The stock cooler that comes with the 3600 is good enough.
