I'm using a R9 390 if that is still relevant..
Pick the case first, then the motherboard/parts. Also, if you want to go Ryzen 3rd gen I have a R7 3800X for sale! Decided I'm not going to build a system this year, but managed to pick one up at launch. Will give RS discount.

Ryzen prefers fast (3600Mhz ish) RAM though so do pick your RAM carefully.
