They should, considering you went for a KFA2 card I can assume you're in Europe - what country?

PSU is trash, case is pretty poor as well. SSD is meh. RAM speed is pretty slow, especially for a Ryzen CPU. I tend to aim for an X370 board with R7 chips, but the AB350-Gaming 3 is a decent B350 board, so that wouldn't be too bad. However, why R7? Will you be utilising it properly? 

 

What's your budget?

What exactly will you be using the system for? What games/programs

What monitor(s) will you be using with this system?

A little over budget but you could easily get an R5 1600, which would still be perfectly adequate and save 100 euros. Or, get a cheaper motherboard and save about 50 euros;

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/fPDzK8/asus-prime-b350-plus-atx-am4-motherboard-prime-b350-plus

The X370 motherboard gives you SLI support though, and is just a better motherboard.

 

If you do get the R5 and/or cheaper motherboard, you could get this better PSU instead;

and alternative RAM;

The prices on PCPP for all these is pretty accurate.

Amazon is pretty expensive and that's why I don't even use it but Ty I will consider your hint 

[Armakar]

Don't buy that PSU, it's garbage. Get something like an Corsair RM500X or an EVGA Supernova 550. That PSU has been known to fail quite a bit.

Those fans are VERY, VERY loud. I bought them and jesus christ they they are a rocket, I replaced them with Be Quiet! pure wings 2 and Corsair AF120 Red LEDs, far, far better and not that much more expensive. Seriously, don't buy those fans. 

 

Also, you haven't listed a CPU cooler. I assume your going with Ryzen stock cooler? If so, I'd reconsider. The 1700 is a great bargain but only because it has the potential to overclock to nearly the same performance as an 1800X - your not going to comfertably OC a 1700 very much with the stock cooler. The 1700 is a monster when you can get a big overclock on it. If you can afford it, get an AIO watercooler for $80-$100, or there are $25 coolers that give you great cooling like the Cooler Master Hyper 212.

 

They are the only things I think you absolutley need  to change, however there's a few other things you could change.
The SSD is okay, but there's better SSDs out there for similar prices from Samsung, HyperX Kingston and maybe Crucial.

The case is okay, but you can get some pretty great cases for not much more, take a look at the Phanteks P400S / P400S Tempered Glass for example.

Finally, the GPU is okay. There's again better brands out there for 1070's, like Asus, MSI or Zotac. I've never seen anything amazing out of KFA other then the Katana and HOF cards.

 

Make sure you think carefully about what you want to buy. Many people buy their first PC, cheap out on weird parts and regret it later.

I'm was considering the AIO but as an upgrade and for the fans I'll see what I can find

Fair enough. 
For the fans, like I said, you'll regret buying them. The Corsair AF120's look nicer, are built better, are far quiter and even have a brighter LED (and come with full length screws) and are $3 more expensive per fan.

The Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2 are the same price per fan, far, far quiter, far better build quality and.. their german, german people make Audi's and Audi's are nice.

 

Good luck shopping.

What PSUs can I buy for about 70€?

RM550X and EVGA Supernova's  should be around that price for gold rated PSUs.

If not, the supernova G2's defnitley will be around that price, as will the Corsair CX550M, which is also pretty good.
