Help with a 1070 budget build

Hello, I'm trying to build a build but I'm really bad at it.

All I need is to play games on this monitor: https://www.amazon.it/Acer-X34BMIPHZ-Luminosità-Risoluzione-Tecnologia/dp/B00X45CMO0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498125096&sr=8-1&keywords=3440x1440+gsync

Even at a medium quality.

 

Could a 1070 work for me?
Please help me with a build, I don't know which processor or motherboard I should get. 

This is what I could do:

That's odd. Since you already listed a monitor you have.

1070 budget? Cheap out on everything else except the PSU. Make sure said PSU is from a reputable brand such as Corsair/eVGA/Cooler Master, and aim for the 450-550W range. Intel will be the way to go for cheap processor/mobo, get the cheapest LGA1151 DDR4 board you can find that has PCIe 3.0, and get something like an i3-7100 or Pentium G4560.

Also, drop that case down to something a little cheaper that still looks as good. A $100 case is double what you want to be paying for a budget build. I'd recommend a Cooler Master Masterbox Lite 5.

the problem is that I have no knowledge about building pcs, and I would fail for sure. Making it explode lol

I know, it's really impressive. Cooler Master is great for cases. As for the motherboard and CPU, allow me to recommend these:

Fair point. I still think Intel would be cheaper, however. Ryzen motherboards are expensive. Rather than the i3, a slightly more expensive option would be an i5-7500. It shouldn't bottleneck nearly as much. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QbGj4D/intel-core-i5-7500-34ghz-quad-core-processor-bx80677i57500

Ok for the i5-7500.

Which motherboard should I take then?

And which RAM would I pick with it? I Think that 88€ for 8GB RAM are too much.

You may can trim some fat on this but it's a solid build and  may hit you budget pretty well.

Same motherboard I suggested earlier should still work just fine. Find the absolute cheapest 8GB stick of DDR4 you can find. Something like this:

And for a power supply, I'd recommend this eVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W. It's fully modular, which will make your cable management life much easier.

you get similar gaming performance but much better multitasking with ryzen.

I think I will go Intel + B250M.

isn't this RAM better? https://www.amazon.it/HyperX-Fury-HX421C14FB2-Memoria-DDR4/dp/B01D8U27YU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498127732&sr=8-1&keywords=8gb

 

Ok we almost done. What about Cooler?

Yeah, that memory would be better. Same speed, but cheaper. With the cooler, as the processor isn't overclockable, the stock cooler included with it should do just fine, but if you want absolute performance, go with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. It's cheap, and performs great. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hmtCmG/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2

You forgot the power supply in there, but aside from that, yep. Looks good! Let us know if you need any help during the build.
