Are these parts compatible? Also could someone recommend better ram and/or a motherboard for around the same price-range if possible?
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
Nvidia GTX 1070
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2666 C16 2x8GB
WD Blue 1TB (2012)
WD Blue SATA M.2 500GB
MSI B350 TOMAHAWK (MS-7A34)
Carbide Series SPEC-M2 MicroATX Gaming Case
I do not want to replace the case, gpu,cpu, harddrive, or ssd

Since that is nearly identical to my build, I'd have to say it is (1) fully compatible, and (2) a good 1080p gamer. (1440p maybe as well) I have slightly faster Vengeance LPX RAM, SSD, and a different case, but the basics are the same.

Would the is the GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming board work as-well? I looked into that one only because the reviews were higher.

I didn't know the X versions didn't have coolers. I may buy the normal versions now. Also I already own the harddrives

Either board is good. Gigabyte has always had a bit better reputation than MSI, but I think that is changing.
You asked about a cooler... what can you spend on a cooler? [strike]Minimum I would suggest is the CM 212 EVO if your case has room for its height. (159mm)[/strike]

Edit:
NVM about the 212 EVO. I just checked your case and the specs state max cooler height 150mm.

I'd rather not pay over 35 for a cooler

This is a commonly bought cooler in that price range that fits the AM4 socket.
Keep in mind... if you buy a cooler that clips on to the AMD retention bracket, you can use any cooler that has that mounting hardware. Same as all the previous AM sockets. However, if you get a cooler that requires the removal of the retention bracket and uses the mounting holes, you'll need one that is specifically designed for the AMD socket.
