I would go with a r5 1600 it's avout the same price or cheaper but genrally beats the i5's also x370 mobo's tend to be cheaper then z270s. AdditionallyI would get 2×8GB or 4x4gb for ram as it would be a ltitle faster becuase it would rUn in duel channel. Also 16gb is enough for gaming but if you really wanna get more later on a 2x8GB wI'll let you upgrade to 32gb what is useless in most places

I have horrible thoughts

But here are some quick ones

1. NEX is a bad PSU

2. Get a R5 1600 instead

3. Why 1 stick of 16GB I doubt you need 64GB in the future

4. Expensive board

don't get an unlocked i5 with a gtx 1070, get an R5 1600 or i7 instead. PSU is mediocre, get something else.

For almost the same money you get a CPU with a longer life span/more uses and a colossal step up in GPU

Could drop the 1080ti for a 1080 and shave off $200 or so.

Is ryzen really so much better?

ryzen 5 is on par with the i5 in gaming, but will have much smoother framerates and less stuttering, not to mention it won't bottleneck gtx 1070 or better GPUs. the i7s are still better for gaming but won't be as good for multitasking.
