[SOLVED] Upgrading PC

Hello guys.
I'm on the lookout for some new hardware components.

Currently I have:
  • Intel Core i5 3570 @ 3.40GHz
  • 16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3
  • 2048MB ATI Radeon RX 560 Series
At the moment, I'm looking at some components that I feel like will "boost" my gaming-performance.
  • AMD CPU Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5GHz Quad-Core AM4
  • HyperX FURY DDR4 16GB 3200MHz CL18
  • ASRock B450 Pro4 ATX AM4 AMD B450
  • XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS 8GB GDDR5
Price is about 600 bucks (USD) for the items above, which I feel is the limit for now.. I could add 100-150 more if needed and wait a month or two.
Will I be better off picking the Ryzen 2600 CPU and picking RX 570 instead?

Any ideas or thoughts that I need to consider for the build?
 
Solution
I wouldn't go from i5-3570 to Ryzen 3 2200G. They are too similar to make it worth. Some games you would actually lose performance. Either keep your i5-3570 or go with something else.
