If the parts you picked out fit your budget, I would say everything is fine.
Some suggestions -
You can save some money by dropping the water cooler to a lower spec cooler, or perhaps just an air cooler for Ryzen, as what you have picked out is a bit much for that processor.
You could also drop to something like a 500GB m.2 as your boot drive and use a 2tb 2.5" SSD for storage if you'd like to go SSD only as you picked out, that would save you a bit of money and wouldn't really make any impact on performance for gaming.
