Based on my analysis, this is my combo (Price/Value):
Ryzen 1600
Flare X 3200 MHZ, CL 14, 2x8GB
MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X 8GB
Mobo??? (would like to stick to MSI - MSI B350 GAMING PLUS?)
Seasonic Focus Plus 650 Gold
SSD Crucial MX300 275GB
Seagate BarraCuda 2TB
SilentiumPC Regnum RG1W Pure Black

Purpose
90% gaming
10% aps
- I expect playing at 1080p, I would like this PC to be able to handle new games for 5 yrs-ish - maybe try some 4K in future? Then I will most likely replace it (less likely try to play a bit with OC or upgrade some parts). I would like to keep the backdoor open - BUT its not as important as getting price/value 1080p gaming PC which will stay on "top" or as close to it for as long as possible.

My main concerns:
- Is Ryzen/1070 Gaming X/Flare X combo optimal or can I get better gaming performance at same price/value with other components?
- Mobo is a nightmare (neither Gskill lists MSI Gaming plus in QVL, nor MSI lists Gskill in QVL - why Gaming plus then? Because it looks nice and I want to have case with a side-window :)). Will Gaming Plus run my memory at 3.200 MHZ or should I better get MORTAR or TOMAHAWK?

SIDENOTE Its 1600$ combo in my country (CZ). Its like 1,6 times average net income here! I would NOT like to make a wrong choice here. :)

Grateful for any advice! Thanks in advance!
 
MSI boards should support most G.Skill rams. Flare is way overkill.
1070 is overkill for 1080p, also 1070 is too expensive due to mining. Here is my recommendation:

Vapour thanks so much for taking time to respond. :) I am aware that 1070 is overkil NOW, but in few years I would love to have a PC that is able to keep up with up-to-date games. Question is whether 1070 and flare X wont get bottlenecked at that time by Ryzen 1600 as games get more demanding - but wouldnt be a solution just to buybetter ryzen procesor with same socket and upgrading just that one part instead of whole PC - alternatively start playing around with OC. What do you think?
