This is gonna be my build. Now before you start compaining about my psu choice. I live in Croatia and in this country i dont have that much choice so thats what i can get. Now lets get back to the general theme here.Is that 1x8 gb ram stick gonna be enough for now? In the future im going to get 1 more ram stick. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4Ng4f8

as I said there is wrong with the system as it is. enjoy your system
if anyone complains about an RMX they are idiots, if you can a 550W would be more inline with what the system needs with @100W to spare.
enough for now, yes, but until you get a second stick the memory will only be single channel.
that motherboard has 4 RAM slots, maybe look for 2x4GB for the RAM. Ryzen loves it some high speed memory so opt for 3000Mhz if it is available.

as it is there is nothing wrong with that system.
 


yes i would go for dual channel but in the shop im buying it in there is no high speed memory except a corsair 3000mhz 2x8 kit which i can't afford so i will get that 1x8 2666mhz kit

Get a lower powered PSU as R_1 suggested, 550w will be plenty, with the money saved, you maybe closer to affording a 2 x 8gb kit, your system will be made for years then.
