Specs*
CPU= fx-6300 (replacing)
Mobo=Msi 970 gaming (replacing)
Gpu= MSi GTX 1060 6Gb
PSU = EVGA 750w b2
Ram = 2x8gb ddr3 1333
SSD 256gb mushkin

So for getting the new CPU I'll new a bed mobo as well, and I'd like to know which one would be best for my build

The only things you can keep are the psu, ssd, gpu.
With the 1060/6 you could use any of the Ryzen cpus, depends exactly on what you are after,but I'd suggest the R5 1600 or R5 1600x. At 6core/12thread it's plenty for any game and will hold its own vrs the i7-4790k depending on the game. Win some, loose some.

As for motherboard, there again, that'll depend on you. The B350 are more budget oriented and have a good mix of general connections with some decent OC ability. The X370 series is a definite step up, maximizing OC potential, top line everything. And double the price.

So what's the budget, what's the priorities? What must you have, what means nothing?

Ever though of just selling this computer and build a new Ryzen without keeping anything?
Not saying you can't keep the parts but Ryzen works best with FAST RAM so best to buy 3000mhz ram. and some says it also work worst with nvidia video card.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tfTZjugDeg&t=162s (just skip til 11 min if you don't want to watch the entire video)
not say to trust every benchmark there is out there. but hey AMD cpu with AMD gpu do seem kinda make sense.

and about your question. I like the Ryzen7 series myself 1700x mostly. but the price of the Ryzen5 is very attractive too. so it depending on your budget.
just make sure you don't cheap on the MoBo (mostly caz of ram speed support from Mobo and later upgrade that you can do)

You think GIGABYTE GA-AB350-GAMING 3 is good with 1600x and CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200?

That sounds to me like the worst possible you could go for, CPU is ok, get G.Skill or Crucial RAM, the number of people having problems with corsair RAM and RyZen is unbelieveable, and get the MSI B350 Pro Carbon, best B350 motherboard by a long shot, escpecially where VRMs are concerned,

Ryzen is having the best success when it comes to compatability, especially at high speeds, with the Samsung B-die (G-skill) and the worst with SkHynix. (Corsair). It's not that either is bad, both companies put out very decent ram, it's the memory controller on the Ryzen cpu that has the issue. AMD is working on fixes. If looking for ram above 2133 for a Ryzen, I'd stick with G-skill or Avexir.
