it will work as long as the BIOS has been updated, which is most likely the case since it's nearly a year since the zen 2 BIOS got released. Also, he already has a ryzen 1700 so he can very much update the BIOS himself if it's not updated.

You can get a silicon power A80 or pioneer SE20G for less than the 860 evo and it'll run circles around it. You can use the money for an X570-P since it has better VRMs for overclocking. I'd recommend a bitfenix whisper over the toughpower.

The x470 Won't work with the 3rd gen ryzen processor, either get the b450 tomahawk MAX or a x570 board. You don't need such an expensive cooler unless you don't really care about money,a noctua D15 should do well. Otherwise good build
