Th motherboard really doesn't matter. I'm sure you don't plan on overclocking. Also, you can switch out the case if you want. That GTX 1070 is really the star player. Everything else will work just fine. If you care about looks, then you will be missing out on more power. It's up to you.

Now that I think about it, if the second config is $50 more, you are clearly over paying for some parts. Because the 1070 is about $100-150 (even $200) more than the 1060.

It's clearly not the best option, but still a decent one.

In this rank it's Tier 3 which is stable and safe but not the optimal.

Therefore, if you can afford a new one, i'd suggest you to. If not, you can go on with it easily, just try not to push it further.
