This is the PC (+Monitor and Peripherals) I'm looking at getting. I was just wondering if there was anything else I've missed or should do?

I'll be using it for gaming. My budget is maxed at $4000.

EDIT: Changed the RAM to 16GB @ 3000MHz, changed Motherboard, and added a aftermarket cooler, as well as going up to a 1700X.

You pay way to much for it, even if it's pre-build. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RnFnxY This build is similar but has a much better performance for $1000 less (anti-virus and mousemat not included). I know it sounds difficult to build your own pc but it really isn't. I knew nothing of hardware and I was able to do it myself. If you need any help or have other questions, feel free to ask them. (If you would like an other colorsheme let me know, I will try to change it)

Its Australian dollar so price its not that bad , Its like 250-350$ more expensive than if he build it part to part...

Only things i dont like in this build is slow memory ( Ryzens beneficts from high frequency ram ) and a mediocre PSU quality

Oh, I thought it was USD, my bad. But indeed, Ryzen needs at least 3000 RAM and I would also choose not to use a stock cooler. I also have my questions about the 1TB M.2, if it's only for gaming 500gb will me enough and go for a 2TB HDD.

Avoid the B350 Tomahawk. I had it, it's bad.

Thanks, I'll change it to something else.

I'm specifically buying this from PLE because they use something called ZIPMoney which let's me pay off the PC over a few months rather than all at once.

As for RAM, I can't really afford 32GB at 3000MHz, will 16GB be enough?

I also have my questions about the 1TB M.2, if it's only for gaming 500gb will me enough and go for a 2TB HDD.

My games take up around 700GB, and I refuse to put a single one on a HDD, so yeah that's not really an option for me. I know it's not a NVMe SSD but it should still smash the HDD.

Yes 16gb are enough , go with 3200mhz vengeance ram , maybe a better case ( like Fractal R5 ) , a better PSU ( like Rmx 650w ) and for motherboard Asus b350-f strix ( they are available at ple.com ) , I personally dont like the mouse too ( M65 is a better option)

Okay, so I changed it to 3000MHz Vengeance RAM (3200 was too much), changed the case to something I really like asthetically, changed to a Gold Certified PSU, changed motherboard to ASUS B350-F Strix, and changed mouse to M65 (I agree, the m65 looks better). It now cost exactly $4000 (my limit lol)

I think this thing will smash most of the games I throw at it.

It most definitely will.

For Psu choose Rmx 650w ( CSM series not that good) , and Ryzen's stock cooler will be fine ( can handle a not extreme overclock too, so no reason for the h60 ) . Now you are ready to rock :p
