So it is my first time building a computer and I have managed to create a list of components, but im not an expert and I would appreciate some advice.

The goes as following:

I would love to hear if you have some recommendations or advice, like if somthing dosent work with the other components etc. Thank you!
 
Solution
Please put your build together using PCpartpicker. It is much easier for us to see what you have, and make recommendations. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ You just need to paste the permalink, or bb code.
While links are a nice addition, it's more important to list the names of components in cases such as where one might need toi check whether a GFX card say fits in the chosen case. Otherwise, if your seeking advice from someone who needs to click the link, that advice is probably not worth having. And we don't wanna give all those folks RSI chasing all those links. PCPP is also good but by no means necessary.

GPU - From what little tech info that is available, best 1070 I have seen so far... what I'd buy

GPU - Again, what I'd buy

MoBo - The high number of negative reviews by board owners is a concern here;
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132567

5 eggs - 43% (49)
4 eggs - 17% (19)
3 eggs - 6% (7)
2 eggs - 9% (10)
1 egg - 26% (30

If budget allows, I like Gigabyte Gaming 7.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128835

Otherwise the GIGABYTE GA-Z170XP-SLI ($115)

Cooler - Weak, if budget doesn't allow for a Phanteks PH-TC14-PE ($65), I'd at least try and move up to a Scyth in the $50 range

case - Solid case

PSU - A corsair PSU with a "C" in the model designation might as well stand for "Crappy Caps".. EVGA B2 will carry twin 1070s

RAM - you have DDR3 RAM in a DDR4 board
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144927

Storage - fine choice

Remember the SSD only helps with the stiff on the SSD ... A (fake) 250 GB SSD on;y has room for 234 GB of files.. keep 15% free as recommended and that leaves you with 198 GB ... Windows will eat 80GB by the time install is 6 months old.... leaving you with 118 GB ... GTAV takes up 95 GB ... so all but 1 -3 modern games will be on SSD.

That means all you other stuff will be on the slow 1 TB HD. When budget available, these will be about twice as fast as yur old HD
