Hi, currently looking for advice on my proposed upgrade build for a 2018 AMD specific system.

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7GHz 8-Core Processor

Motherboard Asus - Prime X470-Pro ATX AM4 Motherboard

Memory - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

Storage - Samsung 960 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card - Asus Radeon RX VEGA 64 8GB ROG STRIX Video Card

Case - NZXT S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply - EVGA SuperNOVA P2 850W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Any advice regarding potential bottlenecks or component incompatibilities would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Everything listed is very high-tier all the way even down to the case. There aren't really any tight bottlenecks. However, if you can afford the Samsung 960 EVO, I suggest just getting the new 970 EVO at the same price. This is unless you're recycling the 960 EVO from an older build.
I'd also recommend looking into a DDR4-3200 RAM kit instead. AMD utilizes the extra clock speeds efficiently. Although you could just overclock the RAM. It's not that much of a risk going from 3000MHz to 3200MHz.

Thanks for the reply xhgaerlan. It is intended as my major workstation/gaming upgrade, I wasn't actually aware of the new 970, so will make that adjustment. I am intending to OC, hence the 3000. Any other suggestions would be welcome
