I am currently looking for parts for my first pc, and i think i picked all the parts.is this a good system?, and if it’s not does anyone have tips so i can improve it?

The parts:
Ryzen 3 1200 (overclock to 3.7 to 3.9)
Arctic - mx-2 4g thermal paste
ASUS prime b350-plus atx am4
Corsair vengeance lpx 8gb (2x4) 3000mhz
Wd green 240gb ssd
Barracuda 1tb 7200 rpm
Gigabyte aorus geforce gtx 1060 6gb (rev 2.0) (three fans) (used this is the only used part)
Cooler master masterbox lite 5 rgb atx
Cooler master masterwatt 550 80+ bronze certified semi modular
 
Solution
My budget is about €500-€600 i am getting the 1060 for €180 with 1 year warranty. Thanks for the tip with thermal paste, i will remove the thermal paste.
I'd go with this. (not including the GPU).

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1 GHz Quad-Core Processor (€73.90 @ Alternate)
Motherboard: Gigabyte - B450M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (€70.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (€71.90 @ Amazon Deutschland)

What is your budget for everything?

The CPU/stock cooler comes with paste so you don't need the MX4. Also the WD Green SSD's aren't very good, you may be able to find something better for the same price or cheaper. How much are your getting the 1060 6gb for? warranty?

The case you chose is a bit pricey and RGB stuff can be added in later as performance (IMHO) is more important the aesthetics. The PSU is much better and the B450 motherboard has better memory compatibility/stability and will work well with that 3200mhz memory (Ryzen performs much better with it).

Thanks for the build, i will use it. But do you know if there is a difference between the white case and the black case?, because i think the white one looks nicer.

Not sure what country you're in . . might consider getting the RX580 8GB rather than the GTX 1060 6GB, IF the RX580 new is going for about the same or less as the used 1060 - that way you're dealing with a full length warranty for a new part, etc.
