Well first off, you're gonna want DDR4 RAM with that motherboard :)

Then from there I'd say your memory allotment is maybe a bit out of whack in terms of RAM/VRAM... you probably want more than 3GB of VRAM as games are taking more of that all the time (though I hate to reccommend more money on GPUs due to the inflated prices), while 16GB RAM isn't completely necessary and can be upgraded easily later.

Other than that though, looks good!
