It is a great aftermarket design GPU, with RGB LEDs aswell. Just a little pricey without the MiR.

If you are going for an AIO you'll want atleast 240mm radiator size, otherwise they outperformed by cheaper HSFs. The Scythe Mugen 5 and Thermalright Macho Direct both perform better than the H60.

I would get the MX300 525GB M.2 SSD instead. It has 25GB higher capacity, in m.2 form factor so cabling is neater, alot cheaper, and real world speed difference isn't noticeable.

PSU is also a little pricey. You won't need 750w, 550watts is fine. The Bitfenix Whisper M 550W is similar quality/performance and $30 cheaper.

I was going to use a m.2 ssd but it disables some of the sata ports and I was going to use another hdd from my current build thats why I have that ssd on it. Psu wise I tend to use corsair I never had a problem with them and I was going to use a lower watt but I noticed the 750 is cheaper then the one I was going to get.

The M.2 uses 1 sata port, so does the SSD you listed. The motherboard has 6 sata 6gb/s ports, so after the m.2/2.5" ssd you are left with 5.

Corsair aren't the only ones who make quality PSUs. You shouldn't base a PSU choice off a brand anyways, as they all have their rotten apples.

I just added the m.2 to the list and it showed notes saying 2 sata ports are disabled when the m.2 port is populated.

That's still okay. You will be left with 4 SATA 6gb/s ports which isn't a problem unless you plan on using more than 4 hard drives and 2.5"SSDs

This is the best GTX 1070 model in my opinion. I had one before upgrading the the 1080 STRIX OC and it was excellent! Some of the highest clocks out of the box and ran very cool and quiet. I never needed to setup a custom fan profile like I almost always have to do to keep cards running cool. It also looks great in my opinion. ;)
