PC build compatibility

Hy there. It's my very first time trying to plan and build my own gaming pc. So far this is my plan:

If somebody would give ANY suggestion I would very appreciate that.
By the way my goal is 1440p High\ultra games.
Thanks for the answers.

Psu is Low Grade. I recommend a Super Flower unit, a Corsair RMx, Evga G2 or GS

Also I'd go with a tower cooler like the NH-U12S by Noctua or the Cryorig H7 instead of a top blower cooler.

The build is well balanced, you should get a better power supply thou, get this one from Seasonic.

Do you guys think that the case will be big enough?
And for the GPU does the edition matter? I heard that EVGA has great customer support.

You should try to get all from same seller, in your case it's best to get all from Mindfactory so you save on shipping, here is ideal mindfactory build for you, with better motherboard that has USB 3.1 and much better audio quality, also more cost efficient build, EVGA GTX 1070 have problems, it's best to go with ones that offer best quality for price in Europe which currently its KFA2.

Also change the case to micro ATX, it is much more confortable having smaller case, bigger cases are pain in the ass, with new technology you don't need big anymore.

The KFA² 1070 is quite Error prone unfortunatwly
When ordering from Germany I'd go for the Gainward Phoenix or the Split Gamerock. Not only are those one of the coolest 1070s theyre also really cheap in Germany.

The R4 is a good case with much space.
Personally I like bigger cases and don't like mATX cases like xStampede suggested as I don't like fiddling around with wires and think a lot about airflow but it comes down to personal preference I guess.

KFA2 is same company as Galax, they are good quality, where do you got your information that it is error prone? Evga is the one that explodes, not KFA2.

Nah not error prone like the insufficiently cooled EVGAs^^

I've read two reviews on the Galax, with one the cover was just...standing away on one side (my English sucks after a 10h shift, I apologise), with the other one it wasn't firmly put on and started vibrating when the fans sped up.
Also the standard EX / EX OC lacks a zero fan mode and is pretty loud compared to others.

Considering it's price tag you can usually do better in a 10€ range.

I have KFA2 GTX 1060 EXOC and it is very silent, works perferctly and overclocks well, i'm very happy with what i got for the money. Will be buying KFA2 again in the future.

Well I'm happy youve made a fulfilling purchase.
It's by no means 'a bad card'
I just think one can do even better in Germany (except looks, the KFA² is just beautiful when completely in white) when purchasing a card as the Ex OC is priced the same as for example a Gainward Phoenix or a Gigabyte Windforce
But the cheapest Galax is indeed hard to beat from a price perspective. A 1070 for under 400€ is just impossible to find except for the Galax Ex
