CPU, MoBo and GPU are compatible. As far as how good of a build it is, well, it's a good office PC. For a gaming PC, GT 1030 is too weak of a GPU to game on. GTX 1050 Ti would be much better if you use it for gaming since with GTX 1050 Ti, you're looking high/ultra settings @ 720p or medium settings @ 1080p.

Thanks for the answer, I do not have that much money for GTX 1050 Ti and I play old games like CS:GO, WOT, Fortnite. I think GIGABYTE GT 1030 OC 2G, 2GB GDDR5 is best for my budget.

If you play lower than 1080p, you should be fine with your setup, e.g:
CS:GO with GT 1030 + G4560, youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUTNWkRHKYA
WoT with GT 1030 + G4560, youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RocveMZ81aM
Fortnite with GT 1030 + i5-2400, youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WECONtRpMc
Note: your G4600 has same performance as G4560 and i5-2400 (+/- 4%).
If you can, try fitting GTX 1050 into your PC (non-Ti version which is cheaper than Ti version) since it's almost twice the better GPU than GT 1030. If not, GT 1030 will do too,

Going with Ryzen APU costs more than going with Intel,

With that additional cost, i'd rather go with GTX 1050 than Ryzen APU since you'd get far better gaming performance with better GPU than with a bit better CPU.

Only R5 2400G Vega 11 has same performance as GT 1030. R5 2200G has Vega 8 in it and that's, on average, 27% weaker than GT 1030.
Without knowing OP's location and prices, we can't tell if R5 2400G build without dedicated GPU is actually cheaper than G4600 + GT 1030 build. It very well can be more expensive.
Also, with Ryzen build, there's 2x drawbacks:
1. With integrated GPU, Vega 8/11 takes all of it's VRAM off from RAM, reducing considerably that little RAM amount OP has in his build.
E.g if OP has 4GB or DDR4 RAM in his PC and allocates 2GB of it for VRAM, the rest of the PC only has 2GB of RAM to go around and at today's standards, that's way too little. Win10 alone needs minimum of 2GB of RAM to operate. Also, any other software (Steam, Skype, Firefox etc) also uses RAM and so do games.
2. When integrated GPU doesn't want to play ball or dies completely, PC can't be used at all. With Intel build and when GT 1030 doesn't work, OP can use G4600's integrated HD630 graphics to use his PC just fine (except gaming).
