Hi, Im going to build a new computer next month and I wanna ask for some advices on what i chose. Here comes the list:

CPU:Intel core i7 7700k or i5 7600k (cant decide)
MOBO: MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON - Intel Z270
HDD: WD Blue EX - 1TB
SSD: Samsung SSD 850 EVO - 250GB
DVD ROM: ASUS DRW-24D5MT
CASE: Fractal Design Define R5 Blackout Edition
CPU COOLER: Be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 3
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G, 8GB GDDR5 (maybe 1060 is enough?)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX Red 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000
PSU: EVGA 650 GQ 650W

It will be mainly gaming PC, with slight video editing work (casual). I will play in 1080p, but I want achieve 60+ fps on max setting in Witcher 3 etc. 1060 can't do that. I welcome any advices and changes in components.
Thx a lot.

Well, you can use the recommend settings to have great quality on 1080p. If you want to get the 1070, then be my guess, but the 1060 should still be able to handle it. go ahead and get teh 7600K, and the 7700K would not truly benefit you in gaming since most games do not take advantage of the cores.

I would also use the savings on the CPU and upgrade to a 1440p moniitor to really take advantage.
