• RAM : 16GB (2x8) 3200mhz Crucial

The only aspect that raises concern for me is whether that CPU will work on that motherboard without a BIOS update first.
Have you checked the compatibility list to see if it's on there and works on "stock" BIOS?

If it ships with "10", you are going to have to figure out how to update it to "1F"

That line of MSI boards and up to the Phantom Gaming aren't particularly awesome. Just the same, if your goal is a set cost and no plans to go above an R5 I see no reason it shouldn't be a good build aside from the aforementioned possible BIOS issue.
According to where you purchase this from they may have new enough stock and/or a way to flash that BIOS to something appropriate for you.
I wonder if you could avoid the issue by stepping up into the 5xx chipsets? You would have to find one you like at pricing and check the CPU compatibility list.

I personally have found that for the Ryzen available since 2017, it was a great idea to have a 1xxx Ryzen or Athlon on hand for just such a thing. It has become less important with the 500 chipset, as they aren't 1st gen compatible. Also the boards that have the BIOS flash ability without CPU/RAM installed, along with the "max" boards has helped things along a lot.
