If budget is not an issue I would suggest the new 1070 Ti instead over the regular 1070 since the price difference is small but the performance gain is noticeable. Also 16GB memory ram is totally worth it and this version has RGB! If you are willing to pay that much for the the motherboard might as well get their higher end STRIX Z370E which is quite popular and I use it now too. It also enables Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for you.

Thank you for the response and I have now changed the GPU and Motherboard but i'll keep the 8Gb ram and then buy more later

And I want it to be an 3 monitor setup, will this setup handle 3 monitors while i game on 1 of them and use the other 2 to whatever? I want the main one the be in 4k and the other 2 1920x1080 so any good combo you can recommend?

You need 1080 Ti minimum for 4K. Even 1080Ti struggles to run stable 60fps in some games. I also use it and even with overclocking I can't get solid 60fps with some high end triple AAA titles. You can also wait for the new RTX 2080 / Ti cards that are coming out soon but I'm sure availability will be challenging unless you pre-order.

Well, can the 1070 ti run 3 1080p monitors?

Yes, I would suggest you get a G-sync monitor instead of 4k. A high refresh rate with 2k resolution looks just as nice.
