There isn't enough information to really say whether your sizing is
appropriate. However, I would recommend making /boot at least 1 GB and
20 GB swap seems massive overkill. For swap, 1x - 2x system RAM is
recommended, though if you intend to significantly increase RAM, then 20
GB might be OK. For the rest, as long as you are using LVM, the initial
sizing isn't so important, as it is trivially easy to resize the logical
volumes and their filesystems to be larger as needed.
