Hey, I have a 1400$ - 1600$ budget (with monitor included) to spend on a pc and the only thing I need the most is a intel core i7 and a GeForce GTX 1070..
This is what I have as of right now: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/x9yPVY
Could someone tell me if I should change anything?

1) Gaming with a GTX 1070 on a 60Hz 1080p monitor is a waste. Get a GTX 1060 or an RX 480 and you'll still be able to max it out.
2) Any reason why you need the unlocked i7 (especially on a board that can't OC it)? Is this just for gaming or also for editing?
3) That's a lot of money on a case at this budget.
4) Do you need a sound card over the onboard audio for any particular reason? Also, why the Ethernet PCI-E card?
5) That's a lot of storage, but I guess you know how much you need.

On your budget I'd opt for something like this:

Same general idea with a 1070, except now you have a really nice 1440p IPS monitor that takes advantage of that horsepower.

Non-overclocking, single GPU setup with a 2k display. Sound card is not needed and neither is the NIC. They arre both built-in to the motherboard and will work just fine.

There are several methods that monitor panels use to display an image and change the pixels. The two most common are Twisted Nematic (TN) and In-plane Switching (IPS). They both have advantages and disadvantages.

IPS
Pro: Better viewing angles, better colors.
Con: Lower response time, expensive.

TN
Pro: Faster response time, cheap
Con: Worse viewing angles, worse color

Keep in mind that these are not universal. Some TN panels produce great color, some IPS panels have very fast response times. But in general those are the trends. I think if you're going to be doing a lot of photo or video editing an IPS panel will offer benefits of having more accurate colors (in most cases) and the better off-axis viewing is nice. But if you want to save some cash there are plenty of very nice TN panels out there.
