Yo, I'm a casual/moderately competitve gamer with a modest budget, and I have finalized my build. Anyone feel like rating it out of ten and giving some suggestions?
My rig: (Incomplete)
Case-Thermaltake V200 RGB Tempered Glass
CPU-Ryzen 5 1600X 3.6ghz 6-Core
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Master Air G100M (The UFO)
Mobo-Gigabyte Aorus B450 AORUS ELITE
RAM-16gb Patriot Viper Elite 2400mhz DDR4 Dual Channel (4x4gb)
GPU: GTX Gigabyte 1050ti 4gb Windforce OC
Storage: 1x Western Digital 500GB HDD, 2x 128GB SSD
PSU: (undecided) Thermaltake Smart Pro Full-Mod RGB 750W
Any Suggestions? I have already purchased the GPU, RAM, and all Storage Units, but will Upgrade my GPU in the future. Max GPU budget probably around $300.

The time to ask questions is BEFORE you buy.

I do not find your ram listed as compatible for your motherboard on the QVL list.
Not all DDR4 ram kits will be compatible:

Nor did I find your motherboard on the patriot ram selection app.
Best to be certain that you have compatible ram.
I suspect that a 4 stick kit is the problem.
Since ryzen is dual channel only it ie easier for a motherboard to manage 2 sticks.

Other thoughts:

I do not think you need an aftermarket cooler.

2 x 128gb ssd is no good.
Do not even think about raid-0, performance with a ssd will be worse.
I do like a ssd for windows.
With the low prices of ssd devices, consider a single...

With the low prices of ssd devices, consider a single 500gb ssd and omit the hard drive.
You can always add a hard drive later.

Your processor is more expensive than the graphics card. For a gamer, the ratio should be more like a graphics card that is 2x the budget for the cpu.

Nice build.
Since you say only gaming build, why take a cpu like 1600X when youre not going to overclock, go for 1400 its very cheap and add an RX 580 or 570 and maybe take only 1 ssd like geofelt said, but maybe you want to do something out of them so thats okay. But for gaming, get a better gpu and later on you can always upgrade to Ryzen 2 CPUs anytime.
