Motherboard: Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard

Memory: Kingston - Savage 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition Video Card

Power Supply: Thermaltake - 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

looks good

If u could get 16gb of ram, because in most of my newer games the usage was always going past 8gb and caused me stuttering, upgraded to 16gb and games have been running smoothly since.

Maybe more RAM and larger SSD?

Also, what's the PSU model?

240gb ssd if you can they are around 120

Psu:EVGA - SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply.   It's about $70 fully mudular so cable management is a lot easier and will look cleaner

EVGA NEX is mediocre, EVGA B3 is better, fully modular and only around $50
Also consider Corsair CX-M grey (semi modular) and Seasonic S12II (not modular)

not bad, but try to get a 240gb ssd and 16gb of ram if possible.

This, but if he can only afford one I would definitely suggest the SSD.  I've got 12GB of RAM (used to be 16, but I f*cked up trying to remove the heatspreader) and I've never had a game come close to using up that much RAM.

newer games tend to use around 8gb. so 16 would be nice for sure. Both the SSD and Ram are easy to add later, so that's a choice he needs to make.

Like what?

 

And an SSD is much harder to add later if you want Windows running on it.

True, SSD is harder for sure. Myself i chose to add an SSD later and buy a better graphics cards now. Cheaper in the long run, and i don't mind reinstalling windows. But harder for sure indeed.

 

And games like Battlefield 1 have a minimum of 8gb and recommended of 16gb. Witcher 3 recommends 8 gb. Etc. New standard is slowly becoming 8gb.

There is a difference between recommended and used. They go way over what's actually used because it's assumed you'll have other stuff running in the background, plus the ~3GB that Windows usually uses on its own. 

 

It looks like the reason Battlefield 1 uses so much RAM is because of a memory leak (poor coding). 

 

Anyway like I said, I do recommend more RAM eventually just to match the rest of the setup, but it's easier to add a stick of RAM than to clone a drive.

Hey,

Solid choice, but I would change some of it:

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor - OK

Motherboard: Asus - PRIME B350-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard - OK

Memory: Kingston - Savage 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory - I'd get 16gb of ripjaws V 3000mhz - I saw them work at this mhz with Ryzen.
Storage: Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive - unneccessarily good SSD. I would get some cheap SSD as you wont notice difference
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive - OK
Video Card: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition Video Card - gf1070 is good, the producer is more of a personal choice
Case: Fractal Design - Core 2300 ATX Mid Tower Case - personal choice
Power Supply: Thermaltake - 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply - Overkill, everything over 550W is not ever needed unless you want 1080ti or SLI. Maybe consider G2 EVGA 550W? This is a very good choice with quality internals https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qYTrxr/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1
