For starters, if you're new to PC building, I would recommend sticking to a locked CPU, like the i5 6500. You'll have near identical performance, and will still run the GTX 1070 absolutely fine. Because i went with the 6500, I picked out the Gigabyte B150 motherboard. It has an m.2 slot for future storage, a plethora of USB 3.0 ports, and is a great board overall. Picked out some 8GB sticks of Ram, because anything above that is overkill for gaming. I chose this Kingston SSD which, while not the fastest, will definitely make running the PC and loading games much faster. I went with a 1TB hard drive, because you never truly know how much you're going to store, and better to have more space than less space. I changed the case to this Thermaltake model which I like. I chose this 520W model from SeaSonic. It is rated as Tier 2 by the PSU tier list, and will run all of your hardware with no issues. It is by far, higher quality than the PSU that comes with your case. I hope this works for you, best of luck!
