Hi,
I've been saving up money for upgrading my pc for a while now and i would like some different perspectives on my current plan/ideas.
I am going to be upgrading to a Ryzen CPU, but i am not sure what cpu and cooler to pick.
the CPU is going to be paired with a GTX 1070 that i already have and the motherboard will probably be a MSI pro carbon gaming x370, although i am not certain about that yet.
I have been considering either R7 1700X or R5 1600X for the CPU.
I am going to be using the pc as a "workstation" aswell as gaming at 1080p on high/ultra in most games.
I am open to other CPU suggestions but the price can't exceed the 1700x.
I have read the 1700X is overkill for gaming, but then i read somewhere else that in the future games will utilize more cores, so i'm not sure if i should future proof or not.
As for the cooler i've been considering the MasterLiquid 240 (non-pro), but i have no idea if it's a good cooler, budget is important to me though so the top-of-the line coolers are not an option.
Things i want to do on my pc:

Any help/insight is appriciated as this will only be my second build.

Things i want to do on my pc:
- Programming
- Image Editing (photoshop and similar)
- Streaming to Twitch
- Using Chrome(probably not important but i thought i would mention it)
- Possibly a bit of video editing (although nothing major)
