as for the gpu they are both about 50 usd less than their original price on amazon, its' between EVGA gtx 1070 SC ACX 3.0 black edition https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ph38TW/evga-geforce-gtx-1070-8gb-sc-gaming-video-card-08g-p4-5173-kr and Asus Rog Strix gtx 1070 Oc https://pcpartpicker.com/product/j8rcCJ/asus-geforce-gtx-1070-8gb-video-card-rog-strix-gtx1070-o8g-gaming, the evg is like 60 usd cheaper than the asus keep that in mind
so,,,,, your thoughts?

Improved list.
@OP, Ryzen is about on par with an i5 7500 for now with gaming since improvements are being made which will bring it to that level. The extra threads mean that games which utilize more CPU power (they're using more threads gradually now) will be taken advantage of.

That's an example of a Ryzen build which is what I recommend over Intel for the budget (it's confusing, you have to do a lot of research). Note you will need to occasionally check for new BIOS as they are still sorting out some issues such as stable memory clocks etc.

The CPU has its own cooler. You can investigate a different one later if you want. It's a 6C/12T (six cores, hyperthreaded) so it has more OVERALL processing power than a similarly priced Intel CPU so it's more FUTURE PROOF.

Now Intel can beat Ryzen, especially at 1080p gaming but at 2560x1440 it's close (which a GTX1070 is best used for), and in fact they are noticing less STUTTERING on Ryzen in many games compared to an i5-7600K (the closes Intel in price). And the i5-7600K is hitting 90% usage in some games (again, less future proof).

No HDD listed (just an SSD) as the budget went high, but I didn't want to cheap out on the CPU, PSU, or use less DDR4 memory so if budget is tight I'd drop the graphics card maybe (but I'd try to keep it).

There's some crazy insane deal going on at outlet PC for $11, which comprises of a 16GB DDR4 kit from Geil, looks to be legit.

Hey,
My two cents on that build:
1. $40 more gets you a 6C/12T CPU. The one listed is a 4C/8T so there's almost 50% more processing power with the 6-core. I can't recommend the 4-core with this budget.

2. DDR4 should be at least 3000MHz for RYZEN (less for Intel) as I said in another post you were on. That's common knowledge now, but I'd look it up.

3. I recommend starting with an SSD, then add an HDD.

4. no WINDOWS OS listed. That's about $90 or so.

I couldn't figure out how you snuck a GTX1080Ti in there until I realized the memory was about $12 on sale. Neat, but again that's not a good match with RYZEN at 2400Mhz. It still shows on sale, but I wonder if it's really in stock. anyway, it's a trick to balance parts.

Yeah dunno what I was thinking, thought to upgrade the PSU instead of the CPU there. 😛
My bad, not with it today. 🙁
However, note that more cores does not necessarily = more performance, games only utilize 8 threads well in the most extreme scenarios like Arma 3, 12 threads is a bit of a stretch for anything but that, I've included it anyway.
The 1600X is out of the question since it requires a cooler.
I've included the M9a above @OP, so you can do some good OCing.
Windows is generally not included in budgets unless requested.
