So I am going to upgrade my final piece of my build: the graphics card. I am wanting to grab a new piece since I am really wanting to try out all the new games that are coming out, especially Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Anyways, the card I am wanting to get is a 1070.

The model I am looking at is either GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G, or the GTX 1070 SEA HAWK EK X, both by MSI.

Either spend the extra 20$ and get the SEA HAWK or keep the Gaming X. Anything I need to know besides space clearance for the cards?

The parts I am currently running:
i7 4790k CPU
Vengeance 2x8 2400mhz
EVGA G2 750w
Z97 Gaming 5

I am thinking these are somewhat important to mention, but the PSU should run it. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Right. At the moment it looks like it will be about 12% higher performance than a 1070 for another $30 US.
