Compatible? Yes.

Good? Not quite, could save money with an Asus h110m motherboard instead.

Kingston is a shady company that does great stuff for reviewers but sells much inferior stuff: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/184253-ssd-shadiness-kingston-and-pny-caught-bait-and-switching-cheaper-components-after-good-reviews

 

Crucial and Corsair are better picks and a 1x8gb is also better since it gives you freedom to upgrade to 16gb should you see the need and dual channel only makes a difference if you're using the iGPU.

 

No SSD for boot driver? even a cheap SanDisk 120gb would do amazing wonders on system responsiveness and performance.

 

GPU is fine, maybe try finding the 580 variant if price is close enough.

 

Case is fine

 

PSU is a very solid pick also fine.

He lives in Estonia so that board could be not available

 

Yeah Kingston is known for its bad SSD but not bad RAM.

 

Board has 4 RAM slots, 2x4 allows memory to run in dual channel

 

Personally I think that build is good. However OP could look for Ryzen 5 1400 and a 580 as mentioned above if possible.

An SSD is nice to have but if budget is limiting there is nothing wrong with having stuff running on a HDD.

Why yes with this motherboard you'll save enough money for at least grab the SSD that will be very worthy in my opinion, and as I mentioned since you'll only have 2 DIMS you should grab a single 8gb stick, since you have a dedicated GPU you won't see any performance difference from running dual channel worth of being mentioned [:

It will work out excellently, but if you're in no hurry I would study Ryzen possibilities, those ryzen 5 really offers awesome price to performance depending on your importation taxes hehehe.

 

Cheers!

That article has nothing to do with desktop Ram though. Kingston Ram is fine.

Well my point was to show the company practices so? If you want to support a company that lies to costumers be my guest :P
