Before we can help you, just as @Abdul201588 said, we need a budget. Also please include the currency (for example British Pounds, US Dollars etc.)

I'd recommend a Ryzen 5 build though, as the 970 is a very capable card for 1080p 60FPS gaming. 

I know someone with an R5 1600 and a GTX 970 and it works brilliantly.

@GoldenLag made a better list. Are you two using different currencies? I don't think that 3200MHz ram should be cheaper than 2666MHz ram.

For your use case without any of the stock cooler is more than fine.

Use the quote function when answering! Mark people directly if you want an answer from them!

Ryzen is perfect for people on a budget and offer more price to performance. Not to mention a better upgrade path.

 

At you budget, Ryzen will be a better choice
