Yes, all are compatible. But the gfx card is abit overkill for the Ryzen 3 1200X, even OC'd. And the PSU a bit more than you'll ever use with that rig as-is. Still... if you plan on a CPU upgrade in the near future, the 1070 will be OK. Right now, the GTX 1060 6GB would be a better balanced GPU. Or a R5-1600/1600X CPU for the GTX 1070.

I changed the CPU to AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler
And my budget is lower than $2000(not including PSU and storage which I already have)
I'm in the United States (Texas)

Although the 1600 is a pretty good choice, but for mainly gaming centric build, I would rather go with this...

Then it looks like you have a well balanced build with enough PSU to add a 2nd GTX 1070 if that is an option you wanted to do.

One note; the Ryzen boards are better now at their AGESA compatibility than they were early on. But some still balk at populating all 4 DIMMs with just any old memory. Might want to check the memory compatibility list just to be safe. I have an early MSI board that refuses to let me OC my memory even tho it is on the list. Even with the latest BIOS update.

Considering the i5 8400 is not sold anywhere atm, would you have any other suggestions or should I stick with what I have now?

Well, its been recently released and very high in demand. It can be a pain to get your hand on one of them but its worth the effort. If you can wait till stock replenishes, then it is worth it. Its not like it will remain like this forever.
Or you can go with the 1600 atm readily available at the cost of a few fps. Its not bad either.
