Looks great!
However I may invest in a better CPU cooler as the ones it comes with normally are not so good, check out the 'Noctua' CPU coolers, they are expensive however efficient: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_12?url=search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-keywords=cpu+cooler+noctua&sprefix=cpu+cooler+n%2Ccomputers%2C227&crid=3TAJ6R532KFOS&rh=n%3A541966%2Ck%3Acpu+cooler+noctua

Seems pretty solid.

Notes:

- Check the compatibility notes on your Pcpartpicker list.
- The RM750x is overkill. You don't need 750 watts. But it's at the moment available for a good price, so I would stick with it.
- An alternative for the I5 7600K is the Ryzen 1600x. It performs great, and AMD will support the AM4 platform till 2020.

And the reasonim getting a 750 watt is because i plan on getting sli in the future

Intel are announcing their new KabyLake CPU's on the 21st which include 6 core i5's & i7's, I wouldn't buy anything until after this. Also the current generation on 4 core i5's are not looking like a long term investment, games are starting to use more than 4 threads, Ryzen looks much better at the moment. However a 6 core i5 sounds really interesting, 50% more threads hopefully for similar price to current i5's.

GTX 1070s are still overpriced due to cryptocurrency miners. You can find plenty of GTX 1080s for under $550, so it might be worth getting one of those instead. Or see what happens to pricing now that RX Vega is launching, since Vega 56 should be a bit faster than a 1070 on average, and has a launch price of $399 (whether mining causes that price to skyrocket will be another question).

Also, Intel will be launching their new Coffee Lake CPUs next week, which will feature core i5s with 6 cores, and core i3s with 4 cores, so you might want to wait a bit and see how those turn out, and how they are priced.
