The reason I went with GTX1080 over GTX1070 is because it scales a lot better in games and will last very long without requirement of upgrade.

I left out HDD but you can add it down the lane as per the requirements. 240GB SSD will give you few months time before running out of space.

Went with i5-6600K instead of i7-6700K because there is comparatively very minimal drop in performance in comparison to the performance gain you will be getting from GTX1080 over GTX1070.

I went for ASUS Z170-E as it supports SLI which allows you to add second GPU if you feel like.
