[SOLVED] Is my pc decent?

[mattstevenss]

 I am building my first pc, and I would really appreciate the help of someone with far more knowledge than me in the topic. I am going to use this PC for gaming, possibly overclocking and the possibility for an upgrade.

Case: NZXT H500 - £65.99
Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk - £91.94
GPU: Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 (please tell me if theres a better card available)
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 - £144.98
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 300mhz - £105.14
PSU: EVGA 650W BQ 80+ Bronze - £73.99
SSD: ADATA SU800 128GB - £31.58
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB HD - £38.98
X2 Artic fans - £8.96
X4 fan splitters - £6.99
Viewsonic xg2401 freesync 144hz - £194.86

The build looks good but personally I'd swap the Vega 56 to the RX 580 and use the savings for a bigger SSD. Be sure to enable XMP in the BIOS so the memory runs at the correct speed, if it fails to boot after enabling XMP then make sure the memory is put into the correct slots (check Motherboard manual). Also I'm not a big fan of the BQ series, I'd go G3 for EVGA or the Seasonic Focus Gold (or Gold Plus). You'll also want faster memory as Ryzen performs better with it.

For 1080P it's a bit overkill but if you can fit it into the budget then it may be a good purchase. I'd wait a little over a week though for CES as they should be announcing the AMD Navi cards.
