Should be. I'd get Crucial Ballistix RAM. It has better Ryzen compatibility. The other would work but may only work at 2133Mhz.

A Cryorig H7 is a much better cooler. The Hyper 212 Evo aren't that good for modern CPU.

Why do you have two GTX 1060? They don't work in SLI. You should get a single GTX 1070 and 16GB RAM instead.

A Crucial MX500 is faster SSD for the price. Usually it costs about the same as the WD Blue 3D.

If you are going to overclock. Just save some money and get a Ryzen 1400. Once you OC they are the same CPU, clock for clock, max OC, voltage, &c. That is plus or minus your luck of the draw in the CPU lottery. Use that money for faster RAM or a larger SSD.

I wouldn't bother with a 1st gen Ryzen unless you can get an insane deal on it. Get a ryzen 2600 or 2700 along with the ASRock AB350 Pro4 or ASRock X370 PRO4 whichever is cheaper or has a feature you want.

Spring for 2666 0r 3000mhz RAM

The stock Ryzen cooler is as good if not better then the 212. If you want something better get the Cryorig H7

If you are going to spend that much on a motherboard. Save yourself a potential headache and get an X470 chipset. Since it is guaranteed to come with the correct BIOS for a Ryzen 2600. With an X370 you may be waiting for AMD to ship you a boot kit.

Get a Cryorig H7 CPU cooler instead. It's much better for around the same price.

Make sure the RAM is on the QVL (Memory Support List) of whatever motherboard you choose. Ryzen is picky about RAM and that RAM may not hit 3000Mhz. Corsair RAM is one of the hardest to match as they make multiple revisions of the same model. So, while it may work for one person. It may not for another.
