Hello, I'm planning to build a new gaming PC, and would like some advice on what improvements could be made. I'll use the SSD and HDD from my current PC, also I'm thinking in getting a GTX 1070 for the graphics, my budget is about $1,200 (all parts must be bought from amazon since i'll be using gift cards)

You can save cash by getting the I5-6600k. You won't see much difference in performance for most games. OC it..big performance. I got the 6700K, if your going to get the 6700..Get the K.

I think this is a really good build, it's almost the same as Ryan's just u said u already have a ssd and hdd from your current pc and this has a better power supply. The only thing I disagree w/ is the antec PSU

This has a better PSU, The EVGA 850W 80+ Certified for only a few bucks more than the Antec 500W 80+ Certified

I think I've heard of Earthwatts well then I apologize, I was wrong about antec. The only reason I put in a 850W EVGA power supply on the build is because it's only a $5 different from the antec and has 300 more watts so you could probably run in SLI for an upgrade in the future

I would opt for a higher quality PSU in this case.

2. A SLI config of 1080s or 1070s only need ~650w minimum and 750 reccomemded

3. If you grabbed a cryorig h5 or noctua NH D14 it would easily cool as well or better than the H110i
