I plan to replace my old motherboard with new motherboard and upgrade my GPU and also because it has different memory type from DDR3 to DDR4, then i will also be replacing my RAM. And also i plan to buy SSD since the start of the PC and loading all the stuff is too damn long, like 8 minutes and 30 seconds before i can even do anything on the startup.

My old spec:
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor (6 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Graphic card: AMD Radeon (TM) R9 380 Series
RAM: Crucial 8GB KIT DDR3 1600MHz CL8 Ballistix Tactical LP + 4 GB (i dont know the name)
Motherboard: M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3
PSU: Fortron FSP650-80EGN black
HDD: 596 GB (I have no idea whats the name)

My planned new spec upgrade:
Processor: AMD RYZEN 7 1700
Graphic card: AMD Radeon (TM) R9 380 Series
RAM: Kingston 16GB KIT DDR4 3200MHz CL16 HyperX Predator Series
Motherboard: MSI B350 PC MATE
PSU: Fortron FSP650-80EGN black
HDD: 596 GB (I have no idea whats the name)
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB

So im asking you guys if this will work if there will be no problems with cables or some compatibility issues. And also what is your opinion.

Thanks for the ansewers in advance!

No compatibility issues. Looks good in my opinion.

I would get a branded 1TB HDD, not some unknown cheap crap. Seagate or WD works good. Don't save money on that...

Also, Ryzen 7 is a bit overkill. Ryzen 5 1600x should be more than enough.

Where you're primarily interested in the SSD to speed up loading of your OS and starting up your system, you may want to look into saving on cost by going with an SSHD, or Solid-State Hybrid Drive. SSHDs have a small SSD cache, the drive intuitively places your most frequently accessed data on this for faster load times/performance, then also has a much larger spinning HDD capacity for the rest of your data so you still get storage bang for your buck.

If you'd like some info on how SSHDs stack up in comparison with other drive types, here are a couple charts you may find useful:

The first one compares startup times across several popular games across a traditional spinning 7200 RPM HDD, our SSHD, and an M.2 SSD (128GB). The white is for SSD, the orange for our SSHD, and the gray for the 7200 spinning HDD.

Startup Times

The next one compares the first 3 days of gaming storage utilization across several popular titles, and SYSmark ratings from various drive types and combinations. First of the grays is 7200 RPM 1TB spinning HDD, second (lightest gray) is our SSHD, third (darkest gray) is an SSD + 7200 RPM HDD combo, purple is SSD + our SSHD combo, and lastly blue is SSD.

First 3 Days Gaming Storage Utilization

Regardless of which drive you end up deciding works best for your needs, we do want to say thank you for considering Seagate!

Yeah that looks pretty good, I just bought an R7 and it is on par with an Intel i7-7700K. If you want to save some money go for the R5-1600X as was previously suggested. I would also look at investing in a new PSU. You can reuse your old one, but if you want to ensure system longevity, I would look at buying a new one at some point.
