I am building my first pc ever. I have been watching a lot of LTT videos and have a few concerns about compatibility with my chosen components. I bought a Thermaltake view 31 case already. I am worried that none of the listed components will be compatible or I will have issues down the line. At this time I'm not looking to overclock anything If you have any tips for me as far as better Price to performance parts I will appreciate it. I'm looking for a gaming machine along with something I can do some light content creation.  

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600x 3.6 ghz 6 core processor

Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350 Plus

RAM: G Skill RipJaws v series 16gb (2by8) DDR4 2666

GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 1060 6gb Gaming X

PSU: EVGA Fully modular 550w

 

Thank you for your help and or any recommendations.

EDIT: You don't have a CPU cooler those are kinda important (I think that the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO should work but you might have to buy a mounting bracket for the socket I'm not sure I never tried)

EDIT 2: Make sure you have a HDD or SSD for OS and stuff... (Just a Seagate Barracuda will be enough but I recommend getting a SSD, I can recommend a Samsung 850 EVO SATA 2.5 Inch, not a M.2 one)

EDIT 3: Why did you post this in Graphics Cards?

I have a CPU cooler picket out but I was also looking and I don't think the MOBO I have chosen has a USB 3.0 header for my case front IO.

For the SSD I chose a Samsung 850 evo-series 250gb 2.5"

And Seagate- Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM hard drive.

 

My budget for my total build is about $1,400 USD

 

The reason I posted this on graphics was because I was originally worried about my GPU and MOBO not being compatible. But I have been looking further and noticed that the MOBO I have listed, I don't think, has a USB 3.0 header.

The Prime B350 Plus has a USB 3.0 Header. What cooler are you thinking of?
