Help with my first pc build

[HHC]

This is my first pc build and I don't really know what I'm doing so any help would be greatly appreciated.

So far I've bought:

CPU: Ryzen 1600
MOBO: Asus B350-F
HDD: 2TB Seagate Barracuda 3.5"
Case: S340 Elite


Things that I'm thinking of purchasing:

SSD: Crucial BX300 240GB (£65)

PSU: EVGA 650GQ (£65) or Corsair TX650m or something else??? Do I even need a gold one, can't I get a white or bronze and save £20? Is 650w necessary?

RAM: Was thinking of 2x8gb 3000/3200. Ideally around £150. I would prefer something Ryzen compatible but I think I will still be able to get 2933 with an incompatible one. Suggestions?

GPU:
I'm looking to purchase a 1070.

I know there were a couple 1070 for £350 during Black Friday. Asus dual oc 1070, zotac mini 1070, msi armor oc 1070, palit geforce dual 1070. Hoping one of them gets reduced again for Christmas.

The cheapest I could find currently are:

Asus GeForce GTX 1070 DUAL OC Edition £382.37

Zotac GeForce GTX 1070 MINI £349.99

Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB ROG STRIX £395.14

Palit GeForce GTX 1070 DUAL £352.99

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming £399.99

Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 WINDFORCE OC £374.92

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Aero 8G OC £374.35

Palit GeForce GTX 1070 Super JetStream £400.00

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0 Graphics Card £379.98

Zotac Geforce GTX 1070 AMP Edition £398.99

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 AERO ITX £379.99

Palit GeForce GTX 1070 JetStream £363.26

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 ARMOR £393.78

PNY GeForce GTX 1070 XLR8 OC £373.85

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SuperClocked ACX 3.0 "Black Edition" £383.43

ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce GTX 1070 £396.20 (This is not the OC edition but can it still be OC using the asus's gpu tweak software?)

Which one of these should I go for at their current price? Was thinking maybe the EVGA FTW?

Any suggestions / alternatives?

I could always save a bit and go for a 1060 6gb for £220, or I have seen a 1070 Ti for £426, but ideally I wanted to stay under £400 and not sure it'll be worth the extra.

Thanks.

hate the Palit dual cards but that price and performance

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Palit GeForce GTX 1070Ti Twin X2 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £409.99
• 1 x Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C14 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey (TLGD416G24= £158.99

Total: £579.48 (includes shipping: £10.50)​

For the PSU, the higher quality the better, as most likely it will last longer without any issues. 550w is probably enough for a single GPU up to 1080, however a good quality 650w gives you extra headroom for future upgrades (as we don't know what power consumption to expect in the future) and these can live long for about 8-10 yrs.

For Ryzen RAM go for the team group RAM.

Finally for the GPU, £350 is an ok price for the 1070, a step above that is the 1070ti cheapest at £409.99 as above but typically £420.

Would personally go for the Windforce due to customer service and UK RMA - touch wood and you can remove the cooler without messing up warranty - but as always long as you don't damage anything in the process .
If you can grab gigabyte Version 2 units even better , redesigned the cooler and PCB to get lower temps
Evga is higher popular due to transfering the warranty via guest RMA.
Zotac has long 5 year warranty if you remember to register but read the T&C about it carefully .
And the Strix is a damn nice looking card in the flesh

The Corsair TX650M is a very good option. I have it in my first build and it works without complaint. It also comes with a 7 year warranty. I picked up for £58 on Black Friday. Very well worth it.
