I will use the PC for gaming, a little bit of editing. I'd prefer black theme. Also what do you think about current parts? Should I change anything? Sorry forgot to post the partpicker at first.

If you are building now. Mining has wrecked mid range GPU prices. Buy the GTX 1080 as it hasn't been affected much and 1070 prices are nearly identical.

The WD Black NVMe SSD is a couple times faster than the 850 Evo for about the same price. It is a much better deal.

If you want a powerful mid priced cooler look at the Scythe Mugen 5. It does better under overclocked loads than a more expensive Noctua NH-D15s. It is their replacement for the Mugen Max. Which beat out the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 and Noctua NH-D14. It is also quieter than the Noctua NH-D15s.

Unless you want SLI later. You don't an 850w PSU.

My previous edited post (after your edited pcpartpicker link) was a gray+black theme. Here's another option, this time with a significantly black theme:

The H5 Ultimate will block the first RAM slot, but using just 2 x 8GB (16GB) RAM at the 2nd and 4th slot is enough (recommended to not fill up all slots to minimize stress on memory controller).

Okay, thanks, as for the PSU, I will probably be using it after this PC goes out of date, so thats why I chose the higher wattage. My original pick was going to be the 750w but since the price is pretty similar I just went with the higher one.

As for the other parts of your listed build, a good-quality 550W PSU is more than enough (even with OC). I'd recommend you get the EVGA SuperNova G2 550 or G3 550 or the Corsair RM550x.

The GTX 1070 is ideal for AAA gaming on max settings on a 1080p/~75 to ~120 Hz monitor *or* a 1440p/~60Hz monitor. Consider a GTX 1080 if you are looking at 1080p/~144Hz or 1440p/~120Hz. Both GPUs on your listed setup can be powered by the 550W PSUs suggested above.
