Which setup would be better for gaming?

1080 + 8gb DDR4 or 1070 + 16gb DDR4

CPU is a i7 7700

1080 handles 4k resolution whereas 1070 will strugle. No doubt 1080 is meant for extreme gaming. 8gb of ram should be enough for gaming, plus you can upgrade whenever you can

If you're torn between 8 or 16 GB or RAM over GPU performance when it comes to a strictly a gaming rig you should always go with the GPU. Not many games are RAM crazy. They usually rely heavily on your GPU and CPU.
Definitely go with the 1080 and the 8gigs of ram.

Good day,
Harry

is it an overkill for 1080p 144hz?

The nvidia 1080 yes, as it is designed for 4k resolution, therefore if you are nowhere near in planning to buy a 2k-4k monitor you could consider other options as well. Go for what combines value for money and performance
