Solution
Comes in cheaper than Blackbird's build with a good 240GB SSD, a desktop 1070 for a little more, and better value components.
Upgrade to the S340 if you want. ;)

Add second 8GB RAM stick in future.
 
The 1070 is a mini version which will have worse cooling and lower boost speeds, and suffer performance wise as a result.
It also isn't worth the sacrifice of an SSD or 16Gb of RAM. :/
This is the minimum I would recommend for a 1070 build.

To get a GTX1070 leaving out SSD and 8GB of RAM is worth it.
At that budget longer boot time and few secs of load time is okay when you are getting lot better gaming experience at your reach.

I have read positive reviews of that GPU but if you say it is unsatisfactory I will change it :)

To be honest even GTX1080 will not remain an overkill for a long time and at present GTX1070 is not at all an overkill as it is hardly giving avg. of 60-70fps at ultra settings and in upcoming year or two it will fall down to 40-50fps.
