It's a solid budget pairing, especially for the lower-end model. For improvement, consider adding quicker RAM, though it should still work at 1080p 60fps if you're only targeting that frame rate.
I understand what you're thinking. Right now I'm using 2133 MHz, but I have 24 GB available. I'm weighing selling everything and getting 8 GB or 16 GB of faster DDR4 memory around 3000 MHz. Probably will need to pay a bit more for the 16 GB since 8 GB isn't enough these days.
This price point for 2x8GB memory is quite reasonable these days. You can find it on the specified page for a good selection. Of course, you might want to experiment with boosting your existing RAM speed—keeping it at around 2800MHz should be fine if you stick with this configuration.
