My suggestion - go i5 8400, Ryzen 2600X or 2700x, use the stock cooler, get FlareX 3200 RAM, and a single 1070 or better with the savings.

As a rule of thumb, spend more on the GPU & less on the CPU. Your build had a mid range GPU with a high end CPU, a 1070, 1070ti, 1080 with one of these suggested CPUs will give a better overall gaming experience.
 
your gpu is too weak compared to CPU, this is a better balanced rig:
