Pretty well balanced. Only change that I'd make is to add an SSD. It'll make the whole system snappier. Even WD realizes that magnetic media is dying (they closed one of their biggest factories) in favor of solid state NAND. If you need capacity, keep the hard drive, and just add the SSD. You can store your Steam library on the hard drive (or whatever else, I'm guessing that you'd be using Steam), and just use the SSD for the boot drive and for key applications.

You think just a 128gb one is good

Should be fine for your needs.

a i3-8100 + a b360 mobo would be better and only a tiny bit more expensive.

i got a i3-8100+mobo, also a ssd and a single stick of ram as dual channel for intel isnt as important and to allow for upgradability.

 

the extra price is due to the ssd, without it i think they are the same price
