Hello, I am building PC for the first time. I will be mainly using my computer for light gaming (LOL, hearthstone, overwatch), photo/video editing, blogging and just daily stuffs like word, excel, etc. My budget is around E800-1100. Will this build work out? Is there anything that I need to change and if so why? Will all the components be compatible?

Thanks in advance!

Here are the components I have selected for this build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/#problems):
CPU = AMD - Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor (bought already)
MOBO = ASRock - AB350 Pro4 ATX AM4 Motherboard
RAM = Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
SSD = Samsung - 970 EVO 500GB SSD
GPU = EVGA - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB SC GAMING Video Card
CASE = NZXT - S340 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case (bought already)
POWER = SeaSonic - FOCUS Plus Gold 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
 
Solution
Potential issue using the AB-350 chipset. It will support Raven Ridge CPUs, but the BIOS needs to be updated first. So, it may ship with the latest supporting BIOS or not. If it doesn't, you'll have to borrow an older CPU just to boot and flash the BIOS to the latest revision. It's best to play it safe and go with an X470
