Hello!! I would like to ask the experts around here, if i should keep my graphic card..
I will make a new build in the next days, and i don't want to spend to much money now!
Here are the parts:

SSD - KINGSTON - A400 240Gb
PSU - THERMALTAKE SMART SE 630W Modular
Case - NOX - Hummer ZX Zero Edition
CPU - AMD - RYZEN 7 1700 3GHZ CX AM4
Motherboard - MSI - B350 TOMAHAWK
RAM - CORSAIR - DDR4 16GB 2X8GB PC 3000 VENGEANCE LPX WHITE CMK16GX4M2L3000C15
HDD - Seagate Barracuda -1 TB

I have a XFX Radeon R7 370, 2GB GDDR5 Double Fan from my old computer, i think it might not be that bad for the new build, at least for some time until a can get an RX580.. My question is, will it be any good to play the new games??? Or it's worthy to get a new card now?? I will spend around 850€ in this build..

My advice is to move your old graphics card to the new build and see how you do.
Then, you will have a better idea of what you really need.
Prices are constantly changing and you normally get more for your money as time goes on.
Buy now, and you may regret your premature action.

With the advent of 8th gen intel processors, I am not so hot on ryzen.
Most games need 2-3 fast threads and intel is much better in that respect with the K processors and some good overclocks.
Ryzen tops out around 4.0. The 8th gen K processors are in the 4.7 to 5.0 range.
You can pick 4 thread I3-8350K for <$200, 6 thread I5-8600K for $300, and 12 thread i7-8700K for $400.

You can use your old gpu first and get 580 later on.

you might be right, i will consider saving some money and get a 1600 then..
What about the motherboard?? I've seen somewhere around the internet that the tomahawk is the best B350 motherboard.. is that true?? I want to get a good motherboard, because in my last pc i had a shitty one, and i can't upgrade anything...
