It would probably make better sense Asus Prime Pro b350 with a Ryzen 7 1700 and its stock cooler.

Get a Ryzen 5 1600 instead of the 1600X and get an AsRock or ASUS board. MSI boards for Ryzen have a lot of issues.

Mice: Logitech G Pro X Superlight (main), Logitech G Pro Wireless, Razer Viper Ultimate, Zowie S1 Divina Blue, Zowie FK1-B Divina Blue, Logitech G Pro (3366 sensor), Glorious Model O, Razer Viper Mini, Logitech G305, Logitech G502, Logitech G402

fractal design meshify c would be a better case. And you save 170 dollars. That and the other changes can mean you can get a 1700 with a cryorig h7 for a nice oc and with the other money you save in a years time you can get volta for crazy performance.

I think the basic 1600 would be fine with the stock cooler as mentioned before me.

Would go B350 if you don't plan to OC the CPU too much, ASUS ROG Strix B350-F Gaming is a fine mobo wich I use, OC'd my R3 1200 to 3.8ghz with the stock cooler no prob.

32 gigs? I think 16 is enough, waste of money.

If you play games wich dont require too much space on your HDD, or you don't play too many, the 512GB SSD should be good but I'd go for a 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD.

Cheaper case. INWIN 805 or Corsair S350 Elite is just fine.

I've updated my parts list based on your suggestions, Thanks.  Look pretty nice imo

 

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/xP7nD8

 

I'll use my current crucial SSD, that i will format, to run steam.  From what i can see, nvme will be pretty significant upgrade but a little overpriced.

 

Also I decided to switch from homeplug to wireless adapter to get less wires. 

 

I wanted the Cooler Master HAF H500P for the case initially but i'm not sure if it'll be available in a near future...

Less wires, increased ping, lower speeds...

 

Oh god
