Hey all,
My current computer is quite old so I'm going to build a new one. I've read through a number of threads and articles and I've come up with the below build, but I'd like to hear input about it.

I will use the computer mostly for gaming and writing lesson plans. I don't have any specific budget for this build--it is flexible. I'd like to build something that will last a good while without paying a premium for things that aren't worth the extra cost.
I'd like to purchase it soon, though I guess I'm waiting on the 1070 anyway.
Thoughts?
