I'm putting together my first gaming PC, mainly for the means of playing World of Tanks with high graphics at 60 fps, and I would like some help with that.

Until now I have a couple of things in mind (but I'm not entirely sure whether they fit together and whether they will give me the results I want from them):
-CPU: AMD FX- 8350
-MoBo: MSI 970 Gaming
-GPU: MSI Radeon RX 570
-RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x 4GB
-Case: Corsair Spec-Alpha

This adds up to about 635 euros, which is about 710 dollars. I have a budget of about 790 dollars (700 euros), but I realise I will not make that considering I will also need a power supply and the such.

Now, my question is: Will this fit together and give me the results I want? Could I spend a little less on something or would you recommend a different product (because my build is overkill or there is something better)? Thank you for the help!

If you want to do an Intel rig, I would suggest a low end i3, or maybe a non overclocked i5. So if you want to do a Ryzen rig I'd suggest this:

- PSU...

The netherlands. Id probably be able to buy a Ryzen R5 dependig on whether they sell it, Ill check later. Do you think the rest of the build IS good or should more things be changed?

Edit: they do sell it but thats waaay out of my budget, almost doubling the money I should spend on a CPU (everything costs a whole lot more in europe, as everythig is made in the US). What would be a good alternative (you were talking about intel?)?

I couldn't find much in the way of Intel H270 motherboards on that site, but any mATX H270 board should do with an i5-7500, and that should maybe be about € 50 more.
