It'll last you quite some time for hardcore gaming! Might I ask what else you'd do with it besides gaming? If you're doing lots of photoshop/rendering/encoding i'd opt for 32gb of ram. Also why dual 1070s instead of just a single 1080? SLI can improve your frames drastically in games but only if the games support sli otherwise you're just as powerful as a single 1070

Seems you're missing a boot/storage drive as well, id opt for a 240gb ssd for boot/apps and a 2tb file/game drive

Oh I have a tb harddrive and a 240 gb ssd already so i didnt include them (Sorry) but yes i will be using photoshop, after effetcs, and unity/Unreal engines for projects Etc.

The 2 1070s were recommended by a friend, mostly for aesthetics lol, but yes i was thinking of 32 gb, could u recommend me a kit that would go with the theme (white or black, maybe grey) with a pretty good speed?
Thanks :D

Anything by corsair or gskill is top notch, currently I'm testing out GEIL and they are doing pretty well but don't fit with your color scheme sadly haha. Here's an all black corsair kit (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233871) with same speed as your team sticks. If you know how to overclock in the bios you can always get lower speed sticks and raise the speeds to save some cash
