Welcome to the forum, Malikbj232! Those parts look great. One thing to keep in mind is that some B450 boards may require a BIOS update to use the latest Ryzen 3000 series processors. Most of our boards should have been updated to be prepped for this, and most newer boards have the update already, but it's something to make note of in case you run into any issues when booting the system after your build.

Another thing to make note of. The monitor you selected supports Variable Refresh Technology, specifically AMD's FreeSync. You can enable Nvidia's G-Sync Compatible mode, which allows you to use your monitors VRR tech with an Nvidia graphics card. Here is a quick article showing you how to do that: https://www.microcenter.com/tech_center/article/10968/how-to-enable-nvidia-g-sync-compatible-mode. You'll have a much better gaming experience with that enabled.

I also see that you chose the G502 mouse. I was interested in trying that out, but it's shape looked pretty weird. I am curious to hear your thoughts on it's shape and whether it's comfortable for long term gaming.
