Travelling into my first Ryzen venture and not knowing much I was hoping for some critique/improved suggestions to my build.

Budget:
1500-1700 USD
Purpose: Mainly gaming
Do I want to overclock: Not neccesary
Monitors: min. 27"

Two questions:

1. What would be the ultimately most apparent thing to change?

2. Would this build be compatible with the new coming Ryzen CPU's?

- For the storage part I went with integrated NVME for pure practical reasons, wanting to avoid fiddling with SATA cabling and just have easy integration. I do know this part could be cheaper with just some normal SSD,

That B450 motherboard is way overpriced at $279 for the first time ever motherboards are cheaper here in the UK than in the US

Yes I agree - that specific motherboard is half the price here in Denmark.

Generally the PCPartPicker list came out to 1760 USD.

But here in DK, all parts (+ monitors) will come out around at: 1500 USD
