The PSU is not good. The case is huge, over priced, and totally unnecessary. R5 1600x is kind of a waste of money over the 1600, especially considering the 1600 comes with a stock cooler but the 1600x does not. On the topic of coolers, H100i is totally unnecessary for an R5 CPU. Motherboard is fine, there are some other options in that price range that look nicer(IMO), but there's really no problems with the Prime X370 PRO. Can't comment on RAM since I don't know what speed it is, but since you have a Ryzen CPU, you should be aiming for as fast RAM as possible. Headset is pretty meh, you could get a better headset in that price range, but none of them would make sense since you have an AT2020, a pretty good separate mic, it would make more sense to get a nice pair of headphones instead of a headset. GTX 1070 is absolutely wasted on a 1080p monitor.

Ultimately though, if you already have this, our thoughts are pretty much irrelevant really.

I currently have all of it and what psu do you recommend getting?
The ram speed is 3200, and what monitor would the 1070 be best at?
I am just curios as what would be the best for.my setup and what i should improve all input is welcome

RAM speed of 3200 is great for Ryzen.
1440p would be the bare minimum for a 1070 GPU, and I would even argue that card should be used for 4k entry in most cases but 1440p is still a much more reasonable entry over 1080p.

As for your PSU, right now without knowing what type of storage you have, you're sitting at about 344w, that's not counting for any HDD/SSDs, any overclocking on your CPU or GPU or if you have other internal things such as a Hue+, that's not too important as it still gives plenty of headroom. Depending on your budget for a PSU I would reccommend either the SuperNOVA G3 or the Rosewill Quark series.

Going onto what monitor you want to replace your HP monitor with, we'll need a budget before jumping into that and what you're trying to use it with. IPS is generally the preferred choice in a monitor as it allows you to see your monitor more clearly at angles and has a better colour spectrum. TN panels are more for people who are on a budget and for the few who claim the 1ms response time "is needed" to get ahead in gaming; which I guess could be true if you're like a professional CSGO player and need a 1ms response time at a 144Hz or higher refresh rate. I would say the only thing you need for a 1440p is IPS and 120Hz but even 60Hz is fine if it's the only thing that will suffice a budget. Keep in mind if you get a 120 or 144 Hz monitor, you're going to want your games hitting that amount of FPS, which should be no problem for a 1070 seeing as I have been able to play on 4k with one card and even after upgrading to two cards. You won't be needing that G-Sync on them that a lot try to sell with. If you have a budget for that monitor and what you're trying to play with, I can help you out there.
