You could get a lower Watt PSU like 600+ and get a lower capacity M.2 drive like 120 gb if you only plan to put OS and some programs only. With that, you could go for a 3000+ Mhz frequency RAM and maybe possibly replace the GPU with a GTX 1080. The 1070 Ti should be just fine though. Do you have a 144 Hz refresh rate monitor? And what games are you planning to play?

Alright then you are better off keeping the 1070 Ti and and get a 1080p 144Hz monitor (which it can totally achieve with a lot of games) or a 1440p monitor but expect your games to be anywhere between 60-110 fps.

I thought it was something you put together, damn that had to cost a lot from a place like alienware. it's worth it though if you aren't familiar with how to put it all together, it's high quality. that should last you for a very long time because you can just upgrade 1 piece at a time as needed vs ordering an entire new system. As is, it's going to handle the newest games at 1440p with good fps and even 4k to some degree.
