Hey guys, so I just ordered a new CPU. I bought the R5 2600 Ryzen CPU, but now I am kinda stuck on the botherboard and ram. (I'm upgrading btw not building new system). I already have a pair/combo in mind, but I just want advice if this is the right decision or could it be cheaper? I am from New Zealand btw and you will see prices are ridiculously stupid lol.

Heres what I am thinking of getting:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Motherboard: Asus - PRIME B450M-A Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($152.00 @ 1stWave Technologies)
Memory: ADATA - XPG GAMMIX D10 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($169.00 @ Paradigm PCs)
Total: $321.00
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Any cheaper/better options? I only plan to upgrade GPU's later down the road. Might add more ram but not too fussed about that. Thanks.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from fattybobbyjones : "Help with motherboard selection."

Hey so I just bought a r5 2600 and wanted to know a nice reliable but cheap motherboard. Also keep in mind I'm from New Zealand so not all motherboards are available here. I was thinking MSI B450 Bazooka mATX because it's not too expensive and comes with some nice features. But if there is a better option in New Zealand, can you reccomend? Thanks! Also my budget is around $170 NZD (You'll see how expensive components are here... )
