Get an M.2 intel SSD. Delay buying the graphics card if you must, you'll get a decent-ish integrated one with the CPU, and a few months later you'll be able to get a nicer one at the same price.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

I somewhat agree, though it might be interesting to see wether you actually want a 1070 or a 1060.
If you do go for a 1060 plan ahead wether you want your system to be able to handle another one
of them (upgrade path may be to slap another 1060 in there with sli in the future, then PSU and MB
need to be able to handle that).
Really look into wether you need a 1070 or not, because the difference is a 150$ price hike :)

1060's don't have SLI

I entirely missed that, thanks ren.
I was wondering why they would use the same pricing as ATI when this hurt their other products, turns out they weren’t. Still can run dual 1060, but only with applications supporting it (MDA/LDA) but that’s just not the same.
Actually makes running two RX 480 more interesting. Plus I won’t need to heat my room in winter, which is nice^^
