Looks good. You need a cooler with the 1600x as it doesnt come with a stock cooler like the 1600. Go with something like the Cryorig H7, unless you are planning extreme OC for which you will need a better board as well as cooler.
If you can spend a little extra over, then change the board to the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon. It has more power phases as well as better VRM for OC.
Rest is pretty dope.

Those parts look sufficient and should work together. Might want to check that memory compatibility on the motherboards quality list. Even still, I don't see Ripjaw ram being a issue. The power supply has enough wattage to handle those components. Coolermaster power calculator says that machine in its current form will use 279 watts of power, so you got some legroom with the power supply. Solid build.

Regarding that you might upgrade in the future, may I suggest that you get more powerful PSU, something in the range of 600W-750W (like an EVGA SuperNova 650W +80Gold would be good enough, for example), and a cooler, if budget wouldn't mind. Other than that, I would say, well done — you have researched your first build excellently.
