Hello, I'm trying to build a decent-gaming pc, these are the specs and I have some questions.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jcKj3F

1.Is the power supply a wise choice?
2.M.2 SSD has a compatibility problem, should I use a normal SSD?
3. The GTX 1070 goes a bit too much or nah?

Thanks in advance, Andrew.

Unless you want to be crypto minging or something i would say 500W is more than enough.
About the SSD, most Hard Drives and SSD's connect thru Sata cables. The connector in the 960 evo is not sata, so u will need a PCIe adapter.
This will then slide into one of the slots for the GPU. So you need an adapter for that to work.
And finally to the GPU. I personaly think the 1070ti is a bit overkill, but if u want to be future proof for like 3 yrs or so, this would be a good choice. I have the 1060 6gb and it is more than enough for my purposes (Overwatch, Ark, other fairly games of average difficulty). This is up to you and your budget, since there is a formidable price difference.
Good luck.
