Was also wondering if I could get a 1070 with this build , any idea if price will drop during holidays coming up. Would gladly take 1070 over 1060 but my budget is tight (college student)

Solution
The ripsaw ram is very good, mine runs @ 3200, my mb is MSI b350m gaming pro, lack expansion potential. PC Mate has fair amount of complaints, thsi asrock has really good reviews, so recommend. For PSU, Seasonic is one of the best quality brands.
