I would like to upgrade the following components PSU, CPU Cooler, GPU and Mobo to the following below,

GPU - 2X 1070 EVGA GTX FTW 8GB GAMING ACX 3.0
or
Zotac GTX 1070 AMP! Extreme 8GB (honestly i don't know about Zotac but their build is quiet interesting and looks pretty solid the fan will automatically turn on if it reaches a certain temp on your CPU base on the review but EVGA is something you don't want to take for granted) Planning to add to GPU SLI

CPU Cooler Cyrorig R1 Universal

I really like your current build, but I do not like the direction you are trying to take. My best advice would be to simple add a nice cooler and GTX1080 to your current build as all of your parts are top notch. No reason to overcomplicate it and spend more by upgrading already great parts.
