Building a New Computer

[Seth_R]

Hey everyone I'm extremely new to the pc gaming community and I'm looking at building a pc myself. I've got a parts list and as you'll be able to see I've already purchased a few of the parts. So here's what I currently have and feel free to leave suggestions down below. Thanks in advance! https://pcpartpicker.com/user/SynthPanda/saved/n2VkLk
Also btw the gtx 1050ti will be a temporary thing for about a year. I plan to later get the gtx 1060 or 1070.

Get a dual channel kit of ram, and faster ram, look at 2800mhz+, ryzen benefits from faster ram, also, dual channel will be faster and more beneficial, id recommend 16gb (2x8gb) but if its a bit too expensive get 8gb (2x4gb)

Apart from that, everything else looks OK, I was concerned about the cooler, but it says its AM4 compatible in the specs.

I'd forego buying the cooler and inject that money saved into a 256GB SSD. 120GB is just too small considering some PC games are 50GB+. The 1500X comes with its own cooler.

What about an OS? Windows 10?

You can just drop the CPU cooler and use the stock cooler, get a 2X4GB set of memory and send back that B1 power supply and buy better quality.
