I'm going to upgrade my PC with a few new parts (keeping my storage, PSU, CPU Cooler if possible) I already bought a GTX 1070 so that's a part I'm going to install anyway. Since this is kind of my first build I'd like to know about some parts and their compatibility. 

Budget & Location
Location: Germany

Budget: 450 US$ / 400€ + flexible Case Budget

 

Aim

I want to run games like:

-Monster Hunter World

-Destiny 2 

-Overwatch

Being able to run most games in general

 

Monitors and Peripherals

got everything I want.

 

Why are you upgrading?

Games don't run that smoothly anymore on my FX-8350 and GTX 970

 

This is my current list of parts I would've bought (including the PSU, Cooler, GPU I already have) : 

 

PCPartPicker indicates that the Cooler may require a seperate mounting adapter to fit the motherboard. Hope you can help me with that. 

 

Thanks in advance and sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes :(

Get the 2600 non X or a 2700 if it's not much more than the 2600x.

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.9 Ghz  | Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD


Inside some old case I found lying around.

Thanks for your suggestion, I still have a few questions:
Is the Motherboard going to be compatible with my cooler?
What do I get for the 40€ spent extra on the motherboard?

I just did some research and found out the Ryzen 5 2600 seems to perform better than the 7 1700 concerning gaming. Why did u chose the 7 1700 then?

The extra 2 cores. More games are getting optimised for 8c/16t
