Everything is fine except the Power supply unit (PSU). The minimum needed for a 5700xt is a 600W, recommended amount is 700W.

Also Ryzen CPU's like faster memory speeds, so 2400MHz will slow you down a little, try going for 3000-3200MHz. But you'll have to make sure your motherboard supports those ram speeds, if it can only handle 2400, then don't worry about it.

A 600w is preferred since you will need another 8 pin VGA connector.
