Sick sick sick, but having a 480 and m.2 puts me over budget.. not sure I am going to be able to do those (I don't even have $20 more than $850)
That's why I'm trying to get a few things used or new on Craigslist for cheaper (tons of 970s for $150) like a slightly used gpu that's better than the gtx 1050ti (Which seems to be one of the only decent ones in that price range)
BUT if I overclock the 1700 (Which seems like I have to for games) will a Cooler Master 212 evo even be enough? (assuming it even fits in my case)
Also: will any psu work with my build?
Like this Sentey 1000w Modular one? ($50)

First of all. DO NOT cheap on the backbone of the build. get a good PSU. even if you have to give up on something else.
you would only need a 650watt anything above it is overkill. that build will pull about 3/400watt from the wall anyway.
Also remember you can pick up a SSD cheaper second hand.. that would save you money if you can get one.. i myself have only SSD's in my pc. 250GB for OS , and then 2x500GB for other stuff. all my HHD are in a 5bay external via usb3.
You can replace the GTX1060 with RX480 or 470 if you like. they will all do 1080/60 on high to max no problem.
the Hyper 212 is good budget cooler & may get you a little better in temp wise, but the stock cooler on the new ryzen is also good.

Just note that with AMD ryzen they done something they are now trying to correct. they put a offset +20c on the temps. Hence why people think they re hitting 70/80c and really it's 20c lower. i think a lot of the mobo makers are now correcting it in bios updates.

Put it this way. 16core @ 4Ghz @ 65c is Great on a stock cooler.
M.2 SSD & better Heatsink can be got down the road, if you ever need it.
Upgrades
This is what i would buy.. and it's just a lil over your own. would be a nice beauty machine.
Hope it helps.
