I have been looking to upgrade my pc recently and i want to know some other peoples opinion on this build. I know the graphics card is not the best im investing into getting the 1070 strix. This is what im going to be running soon.

Case - Zalman z11 plus
CPU - I7 6700k
CPU Cooler - Hyper 212x
Motherboard - Z170 a pro
RAM - 16GB DDR4 3000mhz
Graphics card - XFX 280x - Already have
HDD - 1x2tb Western digital - Already have
SSD - 120gb (boot drive)
OS - Windows 10 - Already have
PSU - XFX 850W Semi modular - Already have
 
It looks OK. Similar to what I run with a 1070 and it is pretty much beast mode on everything. A larger SSD so you can install games on it would help though. What monitor and resolution you plan to be gaming at? With a 1070, 1440p is nice.

Rignt now i just want to run at 1080p because i havent got a 1440p monitor. Im hugely interested in playing Arma 3 and GTA 5 (Both heavily modded).
 
The 280x is OK. I had a R9 280 that was heavily OC'ed and it ran most things fine.

The 1070 is far and away superior in terms of performance though. It is a great card and I recommend getting one if you can.
