ASUS ROG Strix X470-F - 190 USD Bit more than I'd like, but comparing to the B450-F, I'll take the price difference for the USB alone. Not committed to ROG, never bought ROG before, so if something has all the same stuff and it's cheaper, tell me I'm an idiot :P. 

for that price? don't

 

get a taichi at that point

bronze 1000w PSU

Could you specify what unit is this? Radeon 7 is really picky with what feeds it, wattage is not everything.

Patriot Viper Elite 2x16GB DD4 2666MHz - 154 USD Doesn't seem worth the extra cash for the small bump I saw from 3200MHz with the 2700x in videos. 

It actually really is, try getting 3000mhz rated modules and even then try overclocking if you can, Ryzen per core latency is very bound to your RAM frequency, the higher you can get it has straight consequences on your gaming fps and other tasks.

"Nice to have"s I plan on getting later, a TB WD Blue M.2 (110USD), maybe a 970 EVO for my OS? Honestly it'd probably make more sense to either get another TB, or even a 2TB WD for that kind of money. I'll probably buy another HDD as well, running out of storage again, and will likely be needing a LOT soon for a project thing,might even need to SATA one of the PCIEx1s. 

If you don't already have one in your current system, then an SSD for your OS is must have these days, not a "nice to have". I'd recommend SSDs for <$500 builds. No need to be a NVMe drive (970 evo), a SATA SSD is good for most people and will provide huge benefits over HDDs.

I plan to buy the GPU first, because I can just toss that in what I've already got (FX 8350 system) for now and buy the rest piece by piece.

Ryzen 7 2700X -- 293 USD

New Ryzen CPUs are coming out sometime soon (next few weeks maybe? Shouldn't be more than a few months). If you're not buying right now then you should considering the Ryzen 3000 series CPUs when more information becomes available.
