Planning on building this computer for my son so he can have his own gaming computer. It's been awhile since I've done this so I'm not entirely sure what all parts are compatible. Thank you for any input.

also the computer will be running windows 10 and will have a 144hz monitor probably set up at 1920x1080

I don't plan on overclocking
 
OP, you have chose a B350-chipset motherboard, which was initially released BEFORE the 2200G APU that you've picked out. Which means... if your board happens to ship from "old stock", you will have to locate a first-gen Ryzen CPU, and use a dGPU (graphics card), to boot the system, and flash the BIOS/UEFI to whatever newer revision supports the 2200G.

I mean, if the board is advertised as "Ryzen 2000 Ready", this shouldn't be an issue, but just a warning, in case you put it all together and it won't boot. (Had it happen to me, acted like the board/CPU was just plain dead. Had to plug in a 1st-gen Ryzen CPU and a graphics card, flash the BIOS, then I was good to go with the 2200G.)
 
And, not to mention, Intel is ever-so-slightly better, in some cases, with 144Hz high-FPS gaming. Might want to reconsider the AMD build if his heart is set on 144Hz gaming. Better to get 8600K / 9600K and a Z390 board. RAM compatibility will be better / easier too. Price will not be lower.
