Looking to put together a mid-range gaming PC in a mATX case. How does this look?

CPU: Intel i7-8700 65W
GPU: MSI GTX 1070 Gaming Edition
Mainboard: ASUS PRIME H310M-E R2.0, M.2, 2666 Mhz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4 2666 Mhz
SSD: WD Black 500GB NVMe (3rd gen) M.2
PSU: Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 500W
Case: ThermalTake Versa H17 mATX

I'm planning to pair this with an existing 144Hz monitor, so I'm hoping to get 100 fps-ish on high settings at 1080p in games over the next 4-6 years.

I'm particularly worried about the H310M chipset limiting the bandwidth of the SSD to PCIe 2.0 levels. Is that going to be an issue? Should I spring for an H370M?

Any suggestions would be most appreciated, though my budget really can't go above $1500 USD. :)
 
B360 will be my pick, better than H310 and not much more expensive, H370 will be better too.
What monitor is it? 1080p or 1440p?
What games do you play?
On the build, psu is junk, nvme ssd is unnecessary, sata ssd will provide same fps, case is not very good either.
In US?

Monitor is 1080p.

I'm looking to play fairly heavy GPU games like SotTR, Metro Exodus, and (fingers crossed) an eventual PC release of Red Dead Redemption 2, etc.

Should I go for a WD Blue M.2 SATA? I like the idea of having the SSD on the board to reduce cable clutter...

On the PSU, I would think that 500W is sufficient, should I go for 600+?

I'm in Canada, so I'll be sourcing the parts through MemEx or Amazon.
 
500 good quality psu is enough, but that lite model is not good quality...

I know there will be some tax involved. I will get better gpu if you still have money left.
