Upgrade vs price help.

I currently have a Intel i7-4790K stock. 32GB DDR3 1366Mhz, Asus Maximus Formula VI, AMD R9 290X Lightning and a Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo. 

I'm looking upgrade for max of 1K$$. I was checking % of better parts for DDR4. I found some I thought would be better but not sure if it will make a huge differance.

Parts I found:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 199.99$

Moba: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus 169.99$

Cooler: be quite 250W TDP Dark Rock Pro 4 89.90$

GPU: MSI Radeon RX590 Armor 8GB 189.99$

RAM: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16GB DDR4 300Mhz 94.99$ (Two packs for 32GB total)

 

I also have a corsair RM850X watt psu.

Cooler is super overkill. The included cooler should be fine. Also that MB is not necessary. You can get a good B450 for around $100. 

 

Use the money saved from those 2 things and get a better GPU like a 5700.

 

Also why do you need 32GB?

Ok, I'm not very good with knowing what moba's to get. I will look into that and the GPU. I use 32GB of ram because I play a few games that use 16GB++

I found a bundle deal AMD Ryzen 5 3600X and RX 5700 8GB for 559.98$ and I was looking at the B450 Mobas and it says they only support 1st and 2nd gen Ryzen. Says that the 3600X is 3rd gen. Would that work?

What game? I doubt that.

The 3600X is a waste of money. It's only 2% faster than the 3600 and like $50 more. The vast majority B450 will support Ryzen 3rd gen with the latest BIOS. Some boards let you flash the BIOS without a CPU and for the others AMD will lend you a 2nd gen chip for free to allow you to flash the BIOS.
