Hi! First time builder here and i would like to ask if the build i have chosen is ok and the parts are compatible. I'm on a midrange budget, trying to build a decent computer(casual gaming). Planning to do some overclocking in the future, run virtual machines etc...

Cpu: Ryzen 5 1600
Mobo: MSI B350 Tomahawk
SSD: Samsung 850 evo 250GB
PSU: Seasonic S12II 620W 80+ bronze
Case: CoolerMaster Masterbox Lite 5 ATX
RAM: 2x4GB G.skill Ripjaws V- 2666Hz
Cooler: AMD Wraith Spire(Stock cooler from cpu)
GPU: Palit GeForce GTX 1060 Dual 6GB GDDR5 PCI-e

All good and compatible. Only one question - no HDD for storage. 250 GB on SSD will run out awfully fast.

Thks i will consider buying that too. Additionally i was thinking about running linux as my os. I have read somewhere that there might be some issue with the chip and the os, do you know if it has been fixed or what i need to do to fix it?

Looks pretty good. A couple of suggestions as you have requested...

Since you are planning to overclock down the line, a better board with more power phases and vrm would be beneficial. They are not too expensive from each other... https://us.hardware.info/comparisontable/products/386379-400375-396951

Ryzen can benefit from higher RAM. You can consider that as well.

Sorry, my knowledge of Linux is close to zero
