I would not recommend AMD, at this time. Dead socket, 4yr old architecture, no upgrade path. You do have the budget to get a far better system, though.

You can even get a better setup cheaper, if you really don't want to spend that much. That RX 480 isn't a bad GPU, but it is a good deal slower than the 1070.

If you are willing to spend ~150 for cpu and ~100 for the motherboard, I would go with an intel build. I hear most AMD chips aren't at the best performance. An i5-6400 and H110 chipset is about the same price. It is a micro-ATX, but it will get the job done. I have the same exact case, and that red bar can make things a bit diffcult, but still enough clearance for decent cable management. Everything else looks pretty good to me.
