It looks great.

If you are happy installing your own RAM I'd suggest buying the build with the minimum 4gb and fitting your own 3000MHz/2933MHz kit, since Ryzen can benefit decently from faster RAM for gaming.

I assume you'll be overclocking your CPU? If not a cheaper cooler would be fine.

If SLI is something you might consider in the future, an RM850x PSU would be worth getting. It's also a very good PSU in its own right.

yeah i was wondering why the ram i could pick was pretty low in compassion to whats available for the intel side of things o pc specialist. So ill take your advice for that one one thanks and get my own ram. and i think ill just go for the psu as well just incase thanks you

Make sure to read up on what's compatible with the mobo and maybe get some advice on a forum or reddit for what's likely to play nice. There was someone on this forum who tried the above with a kit that for all the world looked like it should have been able to run at 2933MHz but they couldn't get it past 2666MHz. Still better than 2133MHz, but I'm not sure how much expertise there is on this forum with Ryzen and various non-PCS RAM kits, so do make sure you've looked into stuff before buying.
