Im upgrading my PC, going with one of the new ryzens. My consideration is this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4y9g29

Are there any issues? I need the wifi on the mobo, and is it worth getting any better ram or maybe a better ryzen? I plan to use it for gaming mostly with a 980ti. It needs to last about 5years and my budget is around 800usd. Thanks

That MSI motherboard is overkill. Most x570 are for these new chips. The tuf is a great featured board with a nice VRM that would easily handle a 16 core. If you OC this ram it is an incredible value. The new ryzen stuff likes dual rank and these are samsung B-die which should easily OC...

Should last quite awhile the 3700X is a nice choice and yes get faster RAM and 16GB RAM is enough no need for 32GB.
What ram do you recommend? speed wise and brand
Also, would you get a cpu cooler? I know i get a stock one with the ryzen and i dont really plan on overclocking because i dont know how.
