So I'm trying to upgrade my PC now while black friday is going on. I've had my eyes on a few components and now I'm wondering if they are compatible. Ironically I've been a PC gamer my whole life yet don't know <Mod Edit> about computers themselves. I currently have a RTX 2070 Super waiting on the rest of the kit. Here are the parts I have my eyes on:

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz 16GB
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B450-F GAMING, Socket-AM4
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3,6GHz Socket AM4
Tower: Fractal Design Define C TG



I'm gonna be gaming on a 1440p 144hz screen.

So, how's the compatibility? Sockets, slots, performance, etc. Are there other components you would recommend? This is gonna cost me approx €450. I'm not necessarily on a budget but I'm trying to save as much as I can.

EDIT: also recently upgraded my PSU to a Corsair RM750X V2 750W

The B450-F has somewhat poor reviews. The MSI B450 Tomahawk, Tomahawk max or Gaming Pro carbon would be much better choices. They all three have far better VRM configurations than the B450-F.

Other than that, looks fine. It's all compatible.
