If you're just mostly gaming, I think a 3700X would be more than enough. 

Also, no point in going for a 970 PRO unless you'll be using it as a scratch disk (which, again, if you're just gaming, you most likely won't). You can get a very good 1TB NVMe drive for the same money (or slightly less even, as above).

overpriced ssd. Get something like Adata sx8200 pro 1tb. it cost as much as the 970 pro.

you could go with asus x570 prime-P and for better ram, but if you want nice looking board, you can get that.

for streaming and gaming at the same time 32gigs of ram can become handy.

 

cpu and coolers are good choice!

Thank you for your fast replies, i will swap the ssd as you both told me it was just for a quick boot up anyways but i have a question for the ram you both suggested me ram with 3600 mhz instead of 3200 is there a big difference? the only thing i found was timing differences where the lower mhz was slightly better or did i just understand it wrong.

 

Edit: I should mention that i dont care about looks whatsoever its a stealth build in a fractal design r4 no rgb´s or crazy looks needed.

the higher mzh the better and the lower CL (cas latency/latency) the better
