Hey everyone, this will be my first time buying a Gaming PC and I need some advice.

Here’s the PC Specs:
- Intel Core i5-7500 Quad Core
- 120GB SSD + 1TB HHD
- Processor Speed: 3.4 GHz | Max Speed 4 GHz
- Motherboard: ASRock B250M-PRO4 LGA 1151
- 2x Corsair DDR4 4GB 2400Mhz
- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070
- 300Mbps Wireless N PCI-e Adaptor WiFi Adaptor

All this for $1984 (AUD)

Is this good enough for the next 3 years or so?

If you have room in your budget. I would go with Coffee Lake.
