As for GPU, if you buy this set you might get to 1080ti or rtx 2070.
The second issue, which resolution?
Which PSU, Brand and model?

1680 x 1050 would you recommend me to get all the items at once or just start with motherboard and cpu 1st

I would recommend all at once, but I would suggest you a day or two to wait for other opinons, its good to have more opinions.

Don't really see any issue with the build he suggested, it is actually a really good build and you could buy an rx 580 for around 150$ or something.

May want to wait until Computex on the 28th and see what Ryzen 3000 brings- perhaps lower prices on the current chips if nothing else.
