A320 IS A NO NO, u're getting an unlocked CPU, why use it with a non-OCable mobo :(
Ryzen benefits from higher speed RAM, so try to find something like DDR4-3000 and such
while the 1060 3gb is strong, i would really recommend the 6 GB instead, as the VRAM can be a limiting factor (or getting a RX 580 4 GB is still better, most games right now already demand 2 GB at very least, some even uses more than 2 GB, like the GTAV etc, so, soon enough, 3 GB will not be enough) but i will let this one slide since the 6 GB are still pretty expensive nowdays, if u find a good deal though, don't hesitate to step up and spend a bit more for the 6 GB!
the PSU, don't cheap out on it, u will risk ur whole rig if u cheap out the PSU, get something like...

the PSU, don't cheap out on it, u will risk ur whole rig if u cheap out the PSU, get something like the EVGA G2 550w / Seasonic S12II 520w instead, it will last longer and allows u to upgrade your PC later on without worry

u can check this list: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
if you're confused about finding a good quality PSU

Great reply, exactly what I needed - thank you!

So with the mobo - what would I be better looking at? I've seen a lot of reviews saying the B350 is a good option to go with - but honestly with this being my first build I am not clued up on how the mobo links with components and what is required for them to be compatible.

I will look at improving the RAM up to 3000+ thanks for the advice RE Ryzen CPU's. I also look into the 6GB GTX 1060 but at this point with the hike in prices across the market the 3GB is only just in my budget - I will look to upgrade in the future so not too worried for the time being.

Okay great - having looked at the two PSU's the Seasonic S12II looks good - does it matter whether it is modular or non modular?

Thanks again for your input - greatly appreciated.

modular means less cables since all the cables are unpluggable
non-modular means u will have cable jungle in your PC (feels like my PC)
