As a guy that owns a computer shop, this is a solid build. If the DDR isn't at least DDR4-3000 with CL 15, you can upgrade it later and see a nice performance bump.

That's a pretty good build. I have the R5 2600 with a GTX 1070 that can run anything I throw at it. This one should be good for a while, and I can see there's room for future expansion.
If I were to change anything, I'd have gone with a B450 motherboard and used the saved money to get a PCI-e gen 3 x4 NVMe SSD as opposed to the SATA III SSD, but that's not a necessity.
