i have roughly 300$ to spend on a good cpu and mobo with ram. i was wondering if that would suffice 

a ryzen 1600+AB350M and 8gb of ddr4 will push you somewhat over, you can sell off your old parts to make up for it.

the 7500 will choke in heavier scenes at 144hz, the 1600 would be much better.

Shop around on your local craigslist and see what comes up, if prices seem a bit high for older generation hardware try and talk the seller down, and if they for some reason don't change their price, it's not worth it.

the kabylake i5s lower-core count and lack of hyperthreading will cause it to have fps drops and stuttering with a 1070 on 144hz 1080p, the 1600 easily holds out with the extra 2 cores+HT. if you realy want intel then wait will H310 boards get released and get an 8400+H310 board.

it should able to stream them just fine, it'll cost around $40 over for a cheap B350+1600 and 8gb of ram.

im in a weird spot. i dont make much money so i cant just buy things and hope they work. what would be the best thing for me to do with roughly $300. im looking for avrg fps of 200-250. im not into overclocking

is ddr4 ram even worth it?

you'll need it if you're going for a new cpu, no arguing about that.

1600+AB350M, Intel only has Z370 boards right now which will cost more.

it's just the same thing clocked slightly higher and without a stock cooler, no point since you can oc the 1600 anyways.
