A GTX 1070 is going to cost you 200 dollars more atleast, and that's if you remove the ssd from the build. Take your time to do research on which parts that you think you need first.

The Gigabyte RX 480 G1 Gaming 8GB special price is available until the 5th of Dec.

A ASRock HYPER board that can BLCK overclock your non-K CPU. ~100AUD more can get you to i5, which is where when you equip an aftermarket cooler, you can really see magic happens:

That's with a Gskill Ripjaws V 2400Mhz @ CL15 and Thermalright TrueSpirit 120i.
