Building first PC, will these parts be okay together

I'm making a budget pc (500$ish) for gaming. I don't need anything too powerful, I mostly play indie stuff. In the future I might upgrade parts, I know I'll need a better motherboard for that, but for now, it seems like this setup will suit my needs. I just want to make sure there won't be any problems with my current plan. I'll be using Windows.
CPU- Intel i3 core 8100
Ram- Patriot Signature line DDR4 2x 4GB
Storage- Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Power- EVGA BR 450W 80+ Bronze-Certified PSU
Motherboard- Gigabyte H310
Graphics- EVGA GTX 1050 2GB
I'm unsure about the motherboard, so if you think something in a similar price range (less than 100) would work better, I'd love the advice. Thank you so much!
