Get faster ram. Ryzen benefits greatly from faster ram. I'd get atleast DDR4 3000 and look at the motherboards QVL list to minimize the chances of problems.

Get a better PSU the VS is the worst PSU Corsair offers and are not reliable.

Not a fan of MSI's lower end pc mate boards and you can get a Asus Prime board cheaper.

An RX 580 is going to be hard to find thanks to etherium miners, you may have to go for a 6Gb GTX 1060 instead.

Thanks for that would this be able to run current games at decent settings and the reason went for a rx 580 is because I looked up and said it was slightly better overall and wouldn't need an upgrade for like 3 years.
Thanks

The difference between thew 580 and the 1060 is very small and depends on the game, some games run better on one vs the other.

Ok thanks I think I will go with the 1060 then and also how do I get internet to the pc do you have to buy something to plug into the motherboard or can I just plug my Ethernet cable straight into Ethernet slot

I would get faster ram. From what I have been hearing ryzen benefits greatly from using faster ram and faster ram doesn't cost much more. The DDR4 3000 in the list I posted is only 5 quid more than that 2133 in your list.
