If you can afford it, get it. Theres no such thing as overkill. Even if now you game in 1080p at 60Hz, maybe you'll wnat a better monitor aswell down the line.

That's well nice, but i was looking for one closer to 200$. Will it make a big difference from 1070 to 1060?

Yes it will, especially if you go for 1440p. FOr 1080p, a GTX 1060 will do for now.

I don;t know of any. You shouldn;t be buying any monitor without G-sync though.

How much is a good cheap g-sync monitor? preferably silver or white.

unfortunately, this is the cheapest: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/DbvZxr/acer-monitor-umfb0aaa01
Worth it? definitely!

There. I've trimmed your build by 100 to accomodate for the extra 100 you weren't planning to spend over 200 on a monitor, and added said monitor:

Is G-sync worth renouncing overclocking?
Again, a definite yes!
It's not like you really need to overclock a Skylake i5
