It depends what it is costing you and what you want to do with it? Is the 2x1070's a mistake, you would need a much better psu and generally sli is a bad idea these days.

That quad core/thread cpu and 8gb RAM will be very limiting in modern games.

An i5-3570k?

cpu's are my least knowledgeable field; basically just want a gaming pc that can run 1080p, support most modern games to a point of playability. something that can support just one gforce gtx 1070

On a side note, i think this might run better after what you said about the cpu https://pcpartpicker.com/user/bongzilla91/saved/MPTmkL
