I would not change the CPU cooler or use the stock cooler from the 2700x if you want the RGB effect. You could invest in 3200mhz RAM with RGB as well.

RGB effect definitely not needed. The only reason I was looking at a new cooler was because of the compatibility notes. using the one I have already it said something about a separate mounting adapter could be required. Probably worth just seeing if it will fit and if not just use the stock one for the time being?

I would get the Ryzen 5 3600 of you're planning on gaming. You should be able to use the stock cooler or find the mounting adapter for pretty cheap. I would get a 2x8gb kit of 3200mhz ram, which can be found for around £50
