So my current setup is:

GPU: Msi GTX 970
CPU: AMD FX-8350
MB: ASROCK 970 Extreme 3 R2.0
RAM: 8GB

I have pretty much already figured out that the weakest link in my build is the CPU. Now I am wondering which CPU I should replace it with. I had the new Ryzen 5 1600x in mind, but don't know if it's good or not.
Hopefully someone can help me and give some advice :)

The Ryzen 1600x is a great processor, but to avoid spending more money, I suggest you get the 1600. It comes with a stock cooler (you can overclock with it) and its cheaper.

The processor can pretty much counter the higher end i5 lineup, and it'll go great with your 970
