I would buy newer parts instead, that CPU is two generations old at this point, the GPU three. I would also not spend money on a windows license (much less a "real" one) and just deal with the little thingy or buy a gray market key off Ebay, spending the money you saved on the performance components or PSU instead.
I would also get another case with better air flow, Gamers Nexus has a lot of reviews and it really does make a difference.
I would get a "better" PSU instead as well, cultists has a list of PSUs. Another tip from me: get a bigger SSD right away.

Storage is cheap right now and games are getting bigger and bigger, I would not buy anything with less than 2TB of capacity unless you have some secret drives laying around.
Other than that? Seems good, although I would personally go with a used AM4 combo.

This would finction, but for gaming it’d be extremely slow for the money. For $100 more you could get something super nice that’d play everything very fast:
