This is the first time I'm building my own PC so I am not very sure if the parts I chose are very optimal or should be replaced by other better/cheapter parts. I would be really thankful if someone who has more experience and knowledge could take a look at the list and tell me if it's good or if I should make some adjustments. I'm mostly going to use the PC for gaming.

Solution
It is a good build and everything is compatible. I would probably go with a Crucial MX500 or Samsung 860 EVO over the Kingston A400, but for a gaming rig it will be fine.

That rig will need a good monitor to go with it. It will shine with a nice 1440p/144hz panel.
