don't know Ripjaws 4 exact height but they could potentially interfere with the cooler.
better go with Kingston Hyper or Corsair Vengeance LPX to avoid interference

a 550W PSU will be easily enough for this build.

you don't need a Z170 board as you can't overclock your CPU and I don't see you going SLI with the card.
so better get the H170 Pro Gaming/Aura (if that fancy rgb lightening is important to you) or a Gigabyte G1 Sniper B7 instead of your mainboard. this will save some cash
otherwise up the CPU to a 6700k

as for the GPU, I find the MSI Gaming X heavily overpriced. as there's next to no difference between all 1070s that have 2 or 3 fans you can safely pick a cheaper model and get the same performance for less cash

Switched RAM to 2 x 8GB (16GB) DDR4 Corsair CL14 2400Mhz Vengeance LPX Black
I'll stay with that PSU.
Is there any difference between the H170 and the H170A? I guess i'll swap for the H170A GAMING PRO.
The MSI Gaming X is one of the cheapest in my country so I guess I'll go with it.
Thanks for the answer!

Why did you chose the i5 and the 1080 instead of the i7 and the 1070? Is that a big difference? Sorry, im new to the "building pc" world.
Thanks for the answer!

Because the 6600k paired with a 1080 results in better performance in games, as simple as that. :)
The i7 is really only if you have the budget as i've done, not a necessity by any means.
Edit: I forgot to include a cooler, would you be okay with going a little over budget?
