personally I wouldnt use a HDD slower than 7200 rpm's but then again also depends on what your doing with it, thats if the 5400 represents the rpms of the HDD.

The question is at what resolution? !440p or higher, the GPU will not be a 5 year machine. With only 8gb of system memory it definitely won't be a 5 year system for games.

5 years for web browsing & office work? you bet!

As far as gaming goes.... it all depends on how games advance. Newer games have been more & more demanding(spec wise) + we're starting into the transition to 2k/4k gaming. Not to mention that both AMD and Nvidia are soon releasing gaming "HDR" monitors. They're new versions of 'Freesync' and 'G-Sync' meant for 4k gaming.

I will say though that 8GB of memory is currently considered the 'minimum' for newer AAA titles.

Problems I see are:

1) Old Motherboard, New CPU. The Ryzen 5 2600X requires motherboard BIOS version F22 to be compatible. While possible the motherboard will ship with this BIOS version already installed, I think it's much more likely that it would come with an earlier version of BIOS and would need use of an older CPU in order to upgrade the BIOS. This means you either need to borrow someone's processor, take the motherboard to a computer shop and pay them to do it, or purchase an older CPU just so you can do it yourself.

2) While the case does come with 2.5" Drive Bays, I'd probably be looking for a 3.5" hard drive and definitely one with a faster read speed. 5400RPM should be swapped out with 7200RPM.

Everything else looks sufficient.

Is biostar x470gtn good enough to pair it with ryzen 5 2600x and gtx1070ti

Should be, but be aware that the GTN is Mini ITX format, and such a system will require decent cooling. If planning an ITX build, you had better plan how to get all that heat out of it. Large coolers and small cases don't always work out. Also consider the length of the gfx card in such a setup.

Also be aware that Biostar is the lower end of the motherboard quality line. Suggest Asrock, Asus, Gigabyte and MSI ahead of Biostar. If it were a low-end system, I wouldn't worry, but 2600x and 1070 Ti doesn't sound that low-end to me.
