Reccomended graphics card with AMD Ryzen 5 1600?
Today, I ordered an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU with a Corsair 650W PSU and an ASUS Prime B350 Motherboard. Any recommended graphics cards that will go well with it for AAA games?

Nice setup so far.
The Ryzen 5 1600 is a good all around CPU for gaming so you can put it with any card and it will do well. The only area it lacks with is 144hz monitors. The Ryzen 5 1600 does okay but the Core i7-7700k, Core i5-8600k, and Core i7-8700k are a lot better in that area. These Core i7 processors start pulling ahead of the lower clocked Core ix processors and the Ryzen processors when the framerates hit about 90fps. At that point the workload starts to shift from the GPU to the CPU, thus becoming more balanced..
Because of it's versatility, you would need to look at what screen resolution your monitor is capable of, and what settings you want in your games.
The 6gb GTX 1060 will max out most games at 1080p while giving you 60fps. The 6gb GTX 1060 can also play at 1440p with the settings scaled back a little bit. Try to avoid the 3gb version because the lack of VRAM would be problematic and this problem will get worse as games take advantage of more hardware resources. The 3gb version also uses a scaled back GPU core that's 10% slower than the 6gb version.
The GTX 1070 will more than max out 1080p with room to spare. The GTX 1070 does great at 1440p as well. You can also play at 2160p at lowered settings. The GTX 1070 will put you in the comfort zone if you plan to spend the big bucks on a VR headset.
The GTX 1080 primarily does well with 1080p 144hz setups. It will max out 1440p.
The GTX 1080ti shows it's true strength at 4k/2160p where it's around 35% faster than the standard GTX 1080. The Ryzen 5 1600 would be able to handle this because at 4k the Graphics card is the bottleneck.
