From a future-proofing standpoint, that motherboard isn't overkill at all. Memory should be fine, provided you can overclock it a bit. I believe 3000+Mhz is the best for Ryzen, so you might as well OC it.

If you want to save some bucks and help with your black and blue theme you could consider this color neutral motherboard:

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/c2DzK8/msi-b350-pc-mate-atx-am4-motherboard-b350-pc-mate

B350 motherboards have less features but still allows overclock. Choice is yours tho.

 

Also, your graphics card is a bit off with colors, but the red shroud on the Twin Frozr V can be unmounted and painted!
