Hi

I will rebuilt my configuration step by step. Having somehow limited budget I will try to tzke advantage of special sales etc.

General idea of the rig:
Ryzen 5 1600
Mobo b350
Gtx 1060 6 gb
8 GB of ram
Ssd 240
My be quiet 580 gold psu
My old hdd disks


Gtx 1060 6gb maybe evga sc (mini), Zotac amp or kfa2 OC all around 270 but I must wait for a special offer.

Ryzen 5 1600 I buy it today as I can sn get it for 179 eur and normal pricein France right now is... 200 or even 210 (. Almost the same price as the 1600x!)

The next biggest question is the motherboard... There is so many of them... any advice on a board that could last at least 4 or 5 years? Does a specific motherboard implies a special ram? Or some good ram are largely compatible? I often find articles about those MB:

Gigabyte GA-AB350 Gaming 3 (make cpu run hot?)
MSi tomahawk
MSI Bazooka
Asus Prime B350-Plus

Please help

Thx

All I can vouch for is Asus Prime X370 Pro, it's worth the money and there's still a question if B250 chipsets will be able to run with Ryzen2.
I'm also of opinion that 1600X is worth somewhat higher price over non-X model. No need to OC and even if you want to OC it does it higher and easier.
Any DDR up to 3000MHz should run at it's face value.
