I mean, are you overclocking?

I could be very wrong, but I don't think you get any significant performance boost (assuming you aren't overclocking) from better cooling than the stock cooler on Zen+ chips.

Also if you plan to overclock, unless you replace your current ram sticks with a 2x8 config, if you upgrade to 16 gigs through 4x4, you probably will lose a bit of overclocking potential from using all 4 ram slots. Replacing it with faster ram (3000-3200 mhz) should give you decent gains though if you opt to replace it.

 

I went to check the 2700 on newegg to find out which stock cooler it had, and holy crap! It is $160 on Newegg! My R5 1600 cost $170 when I got it in 2017.

 

Edit: 100% get an SSD, it's a life changer, and you can keep your old hard drive for bulk storage.
