Use the stock cooler.

Go with a 1x8GB memory module to allow for upgrading.

Get a 240GB+ ssd.

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Absolutely no need for any aftermarket cooler for a R3 1200, the stock included one is more than sufficient.

 

Needs at very least 2666mhz but preference to either 3000mhz or 3200mhz memory since Ryzen has Infinity Fabric limitations that will cap performance if you run it below 2933mhz speed, it costs you performance in games especially at 2133mhz it will be a disaster.

 

Get a different SSD any thing really, Kingston is a shady company: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/184253-ssd-shadiness-kingston-and-pny-caught-bait-and-switching-cheaper-components-after-good-reviews

 

If you need a cheap SSD get either (they are the same) Western Digital Green / SanDisk SSD Plus G26 or if you can afford better the Crucial MX300 or AMD R3 works great, the rest is fine enough.

Get faster RAM, at least 2666Mhz, ideally 3000Mhz as Ryzen's Infinity fabric technology scales well with this netting around a 25% increase of fps in games. It sucks getting faster RAM as it is so expensive nowadays, but you won't regret having that significantly boosted performance.
