A pc newbie needs help

i'm trying to get a new pc that is vr ready and capable of 1080p-1440p gaming for about 1000€(i can add up to 100€ if needed) and so i want to know if this build is correct or at least compatible with each parts 
- AMD Ryzen 1600 Wraith Spire Edition (3.2 GHz) (210€)
- MSI A320M PRO-VD PLUS (50€)
- DDR4 HyperX Fury, Black, 2 x 8 Go, 2133 MHz, CAS 14 (180-190€)
- MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti AERO 8G (445€)
- Corsair CX650M 80PLUS Bronze (80€)
plus other things like a 1tb seagate barracuda and a case with the rest
and some things that i already own like the cooler

from my knowledge:
a gtx 1070 ti is closer to a 1080 than a 1070 to i thought about adding 20-40 bucks to get a better vr experience and make it more "future proof"
ryzen 5 1600 is the best price/performance cpu on the current market
i heard that an msi a320m pro vd plus may or may not be compatible with this cpu so i may have to change it

And do not hesitate to give me a better build if you got one

For being a noob, this is an excellent build. I'd still change a few things though:

1. Change the motherboard to something with a B350 chipset, and that isn't made by MSI.

2. Get faster RAM speeds (2666MHz and above).

3. Make sure that's the 2017 model of the PSU.

Quote me to see my reply!

SPECS:

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X Motherboard: MSI B450-A Pro Max RAM: 32GB I forget GPU: MSI Vega 56 Storage: 256GB NVMe boot, 512GB Samsung 850 Pro, 1TB WD Blue SSD, 1TB WD Blue HDD PSU: Inwin P85 850w Case: Fractal Design Define C Cooling: Stock for CPU, be quiet! case fans, Morpheus Vega w/ be quiet! Pure Wings 2 for GPU Monitor: 3x Thinkvision P24Q on a Steelcase Eyesite triple monitor stand Mouse: Logitech MX Master 3 Keyboard: Focus FK-9000 (heavily modded) Mousepad: Aliexpress cat special Headphones:  Sennheiser HD598SE and Sony Linkbuds

found DDR4 Ballistix Elite, 2 x 8 Go, 2666 MHz, CAS 16 cheaper than the ram i wanted, the psu is the 2015 edition but it looks like it got what i need for the gpu and went for the ASUS PRIME B350M-K instead of the msi mobo, is there still things to change?

While 1070ti are not binned, the MSI aero version just lags behind the rest of the pack by a small margin for whatever reason. Also the temperature isnt that great, so you might want a 1070ti with a open cooler. You only need a 550w PSU though so that might help save some money.

so is the NNO3D GeForce GTX 1070 Ti TWIN X2 good?
and about the psu i went for the Corsair Builder Series VS550 80PLUS but the question here does it have what it needs to go with gtx 1070 ti? because i saw one non modular without the 6+2 pin
heard that this gtx got great cooling even under severe overclocking

This card isnt the best performing but sure is the best value since it doesnt have obvious faults either.

 

VS = Very shit. Do not get that piece of junk.

If it has a grey label, not a green one, it's good.
