Some components are overkill :

Limit ur ram to 3200. The price premium for higher speeds ain't worth it.
Get a 960 Evo ssd and reduce that 2tb to a caviar blue or barracuda.
A good 550w is all u need for 7700k/1070 or 1080 combo. Get a evga g3 550 or corsair rmx 550 or seasonic focus plus or g series 550. If you want, get a 650w in case you want to upgrade to a 1080ti.

Side note : would ask you to wait for 8700k and z370 combo. Will be available in a month.
