i'm looking into a build for my brother. this is what i have come up with

NZXT S340 Elite

Asus PRIME B350-PLUS

Ryzen 5 1600

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8GB

then a SSD, 16gb ram and a 650W psu

it there anything youd change?

Case seems expensive. Not all 650w PSUs are created equal. If this is a gaming rig I'd go with a 7700K if the budget can stretch to it, but if it's a multi-purpose rig then happy days. I'd also potentially wait for Vega.

Looks pretty well balanced to me

You can spend more on a better 500W PSU btw. Look for something like 80+ Bronze, Silver or Gold. These are ratings of power efficiency.
This is considered one of the better websites for PSU reviews: http://www.jonnyguru.com/

it's for gaming he is also looking at doing things for youtube. the price he's looking to spend is 1300 max and looking to get it in the next 2 weeks as this 8 year old computer is on it's last legs

I'd go with a 1700 if the primary focus is video or 7700K if gaming, although really any (1600, 7700, 1700) will be grand. AM4 platform will be more upgradable in the future too.
