It is a nice build but I would rather go ryzen 1600 instead of that 2200g. You will be using dedicated gpu so there is not point in going for apu. I would just give up e.g. rgb fans for now or that wifi adapter if u do not need it. Also you would do better with 2x8 gb rams... I suggest going atleast for 2666mhz I really do not think there is a huge price difference. You could get 3000mhz sticks for like ~170$ when I checked last time.

That board is pretty poor as it has no VRM cooling. Also an ATX board will look better in an ATX case.

 

No point getting thermal paste if you are using the stock cooler.

 

You want faster ram for Ryzen. Go with 2 x 8GB of 3000 - 3200.

 

I would get a cheaper SATA SSD such as the Team Group L5 or Crucial MX300 etc.

 

Strange choice of HDD. Just get a regular barracuda (Green label) or WD Blue etc.

 

The EVGA G3 has some issues I believe. Maybe swap it for something like a Seasonic Focus or Corsair RMx etc.

Is the thermal paste necessary? I think the coolers should come with a bit already.
