I would like to be able tu run most games that come out today in medium-ultra if anyone is wondering what I meant by gaming PC.
Thanks in advance

Make changes as you need to. Went with a black/red dragon theme but I understand you might have different tastes.

I believe that 1070 is overkill for 1080p. You can get away with an Rx480, or if you can wait a week then check out the benchmarks of 1060 GTX once it is released. It will save you some money.
