I went for the 1600x + motherboard bundle instead of 1600 normal, because I didn't want the included wraith spire cooler, as I heard the 212 evo would be good for a 4.0ghz overclock. I have an ssd. I put the 1070 at 550 dollars because the prices and availability change a lot and I don't know what 1070 deal I will find in about a week when I buy the parts.
and I know my choice of keyboard is pretty stupid and expensive, but I like the matching mouse (deathadder elite), and I'm gonna get the keyboard.

edit: are there any compatibility problems with my build?
I am knew to this and most likely wouldn't be able to tell if some components don't work well together. i think i heard something about the ram being too fast for the ryzen processor, is this true at all?
