I'm looking for help on building a new gaming pc, but I need to be able to record and play games on it at the same time. I have picked out the rest of my build but I was wondering if a 850w power supply is overkill for my pc. Also I was wondering if I should get a GTX 1070 or GTX 1080

Thank you, I will be using this list to build my new pc and I will be adding a different case. I will be using the Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-ALPHA Mid-Tower Gaming Case, White/Red with the Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 ATX Motherboard ATX DDR4 NA Motherboards (GA-Z170X-GAMING 5) as I originally planned
 
the z170 gaming 7 would look nice in that case

this is my i7 6700k gtx 1070 build also have the 1400p 144 g sync monitor

Looks awesome. I think the only way to make it better would be to add a red led strip
