It should certainly "work".

Note though, those GPUs are on back-order. To actually find a 1070, in stock, today - you're looking at another +$300 easily.

What's the intended use for the build? Gaming? Editing? etc. What resolution of monitor would you pair with it?

For most use cases, an i7 would likely be a better option. You're looking to pair a Z board with a locked CPU, so if a bit of a mismatch as you can't overclock.

yes, and you can always upgrade to the i7-7700k later.

its for gaming at 1920*1080 and possibly 2k on minor games

Should be fine, but you should build on latest gen. platform for better performance and longevity.

Yes I agree. On that budget spending the extra money for the newer platform won't make any difference in the total price once it's all said and done. I would get something like this:
