I'm building a gaming PC on a budget of $3500. For the Graphics Card I am considering the GTX 1070.

Thanx

Couple things:
- If you have the money, you could go with an i7-5820k instead. You wouldn't need to upgrade for years
- The NZXT Kraken X61 performs better than the H100i and it is quieter
- With this budget, get a bigger SSD. You could get a full 1TB of SSD storgae and an M.2 Drive if you wanted.
- You can get a monitor just as good for half the price
- Why do you need the CM Storm Gaming BUndle, and two other mice. Just get 1 Mouse and a nicer mechanical keyboard
- With that budget, you could get a GTX 1080 when it comes out

Here is how I would revise the parts list:
