A few changes.

You could save some money and get the Ryzen 2600

You can save a little money and get a AB350 (BIOS update may be required)/AB450 motherboard. Unless you are going to do alot of overclocking save the money ans skip the X470.

Buy dual channel RAM, meaning the kits sold a 2x4GB. Also buy the fastest mhz RAM you can afford.

Buy a better PSU, if you're one a budget the Corsair CX450/550 (not the one with green lettering) or the Corsair CX450M/550M would be a better choice.

Is there a big difference between 2600 & 2600x? Also, i chose the x470 cuz I wouldn't have to do a BIOS update, but I'll look into it. Also thanks for the RAM suggestions!

Faster RAM.

SSD and HDD.

Take a B450. You will not need a BIOS update and you can easily swap out for a X470 in the future.
