This Setup is perfect considering you are building a 1080p gaming setup, but i would suggest you to go for 16 gig instead of 8

Is it necessary for Fortnite or Ark? I think those are the games i am going to play the most
Thank you for the answer.

PSU is not very good. Definitely get a better one.

8 gigs is still quite relevant and should be enough for Ark and Fortnite, but 16 would be better. Make sure it is dual channel ram.

you cant overclock on that cpu so if you are planning on doing it later down the line, it'll have a number at the end of it that'll say ####k, you may want a liquid cooler(thats my opinion).

If it is enough for Ark and Fortnite I will go with 8GB for now. I wil get 2x4 so I can upgrade to 16GB in the future.

What psu would you recommend?

A B360 motherboard doesn't support overclocking, so I am not planning to do that in the future.

I am new to this site, I don't know what I just did, voted down or something?

Thanks for the answers.

Is there a cheaper one that will be ok? That one is 50 euros more (netherlands) than the psu I planned.
Would a corsair vs550 be ok? They say it can run op to a 1070

The Corsair VS550 is the worst PSU in their line up and is of horrible quality and reliability. I would not put it anywhere near a system which is considered important.

There is a 69 euro version of this PSU but it is 450W and that would be too tight with your system.

Yup it should be alright, but 120 gig SSD will fill up fast, so be careful with space management.
