The motherboard and CPU are incompatible. The motherboard you chose is for Intel CPUs, which use the LGA1151 socket. The Ryzen 5 1600 uses the AM4 socket.

What you'd want if you like the board aesthetic is the Asrock X370 Taichi (not Z270).

 

Other than that, everything seems good.

That motherboard won't work.  You need an AM4 one.  I also recommend getting a WD Blue drive instead of Seagate. 

 

Seagates work fine for me.

A hard drive is a hard drive, yes Seagate had some issues but it was only for a specific drive.

Yeah, Seagate updated their whole line of hard drives.  I heard the new models are actually pretty good.

They're mostly fine.  Their bad reputation is a little exaggerated IMO, but the WD one is the same price (at least in the US) and it's considered more reliable.

Not all drives are created equal, and plenty of Seagate drives have had problems.

Like I said, it's probably fine.  But better to go with something that has an excellent reputation IMO.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!
