First time Pc builder here, looking for opinions on this build I’ve assembled. I’ve been editing it and switching out parts now for a few weeks. If you have something to add or just want to say something don't hesitate in answering, I need other opinions because I'm still a bit inexperienced at this.

A few notes:
1. Although I already went over it my budget is around €700. I’m not planning to go much higher unless it is really necessary.
2. I plan on using it mainly for gaming (The Witcher 3, Monster Hunter World, Final Fantasy 15, Read Dead Redemption 2 (hopefully), Cyberpunk 2077 (also hopefully) and some League Of Legends. Also light video editing and school (MySQL and Java, won't be doing a lot with this though).
3. Will 8GB RAM be enough?
4. Does the motherboard support the RAM HX432C16PB3K2/8 since I only see HX432C16PB3K2/16 on the memory support list > https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-PRO-rev-10#support-doc
5. Does it also support the SSD since my model is the mz-76e250b/eu and is also not listed on the support list > https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-PRO-rev-10#support-doc
6. I already have the storage (SSD and HDD) so that is why it is not included in the total price.
7. I live in the Netherlands, so the pricing may or may not be a bit different.
8. Again, please don’t hesitate to add something.

Looks ok to me, the RAM should work but with it not being on the list there is a slight risk. I got cheaper RAM that wasn't on the list for mine and ended up having to turn it down to 2933 to make it stable but it still works. If you weren't already over budget I'd suggest 16GB of RAM. 8GB is ok and will still be a nice machine, but some games do use a bit more and might stutter a bit and you won't want to be runnning anything else while gaming.
