Is it used or what ? Because this board isn't necessarily the best and x470 is pretty useless and is a dead lineup. 

Get an a pro max ( NON M) or a pro 4 or a pro vdh mX

For 800 bucks you can fit a 5600xt. 

This card is overpriced and has a bad cooler afaik.

Don't get it. 

1. Subpart 

2. You don't need 700w. Get a cx550 of maybe if you can fit an MWE gold or a tx550m.

If you are only gaming it could make sense to buy one of the new Ryzen quadcores and use that money to grab a better GPU. 

 

You can get cheaper ram, PSU seems questionable to me, 700w really not needed. 

 

Do you really need 2.5tb storage...

 

Nevermind, @GoldenLag got it down to an art form there!

You could probably save some money on memory by getting something cheaper like this one instead: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/QBrYcf/kingston-hyperx-fury-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-hx432c16fb3k216

It won't make any difference in performance because the latency will be around the same and you can add that money to get a better GPU.

2070 would be better.

 

And there is no cheaper good alternativ motherboard.

 

I can redoo the build, but that entails more money being spent.

It wouldnt be a lot better, and at the cost of a 2070 you could the slightly better rx 5700 xt.
