Hey

I'm looking for some feedback on my proposed build. Need to know if I'm buying anything that is worthless and/or can be achieved better with a different part lower in price.
I'm looking to run 95% of games at or above 60fps.
I have excluded peripherals as I already have everything I need.

CPU Intel Core i5 7600K Kabylake 3.8GHz 6MB
CPU Cooler Cyrorig H7
Motherboard ASRock AB350 Fatal1ty AM4 mITX Gaming
Memory G.Skill 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR4 Ripjaws
SSD/OS Storage Samsung 850 EVO Series 2.5" 7mm 250GB SSD
HDD WD Blue WD20EZRZ 3.5" 2TB 64MB 5400RPM Desktop HDD
GPU EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB
Case Deepcool Tesseract SW Mid-Tower
Power Supply eVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W 80PLUS Gold Power Supply
Wi-Fi Adapter ASUS PCE-AC55BT Dual-Band Wireless-AC1200 PCIe Adapter with Bluetooth
(Yes I do need the Wi-Fi adapter as I do not have any Ethernet ports in my room...

The approximate price is around USD$1587, totals to AUD$2057.
Price excludes operating system.

Thanks in advance, any feedback appreciated.

Erm, where are you exactly?
What display/s will you be gaming on? At HD resolution I'd go for an Intel build but at higher ( 2K or even 4K ) resolutions I'd look at a Ryzen build. EDIT: At least I would here in the UK, they're stupidly expensive in Australia.

Main differences are the M2 SSD and GTX1070Ti,

Or, with a cheaper SSD and a GTX1080:

Extremely powerful setup.
Add HDD in 2-3months till then the SDD is enough to handle the load.
