This is what I am planning to build.
But I have some questions which I want you guys to answer.
*The MoBo has LED lighting (as stated in their website) but is it like that of the AM3+ MoBo ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura?
*I have heard that the Corsair CX500 is a piece of junk but I will not overclock so is it okay for me?
*Should I go for the GTX 1060 3GB or RX 570 4GB?
*Do I need to buy any aftermarket cooler like the Cooler Master Hyper 212X for my PC or is the stock cooler okay?
---Thanks In Advance---

I would suggest the 6 core ryzen 5 1600. You really only need 3 fans for the spec 2 comes with 2 and it only has 5 mounts. The bottom one is covered by your PSU. You can get a 580 4GB as cheap as the 670. You really need the faster RAM for ryzen also so I put 3000 RAM.
