Looks fine, although I'd opt to spend a little more on the motherboard, at least the Asus Prime B450M-A II or similar motherboard. It's only 2-3$ more but it's much better featured, 4 slots of ram, so you can add more later if you need it, better VRM's from the looks of it and an 8 pin power connector instead of a 4 pin meaning it can provide more power to the CPU which is good especially if you want to stay on AM4 and upgrade in the future. The main drawback is you'll have to update the bios, however, this has a bios flashback button meaning all you need is a USB drive formatted correctly with the bios file downloaded from Asus and the board should be able to install the bios without a CPU, or RAM installed.
