I need to keep the total cost under $1100 because of sales tax(Why must I suffer) And I can't help but keep the cost over $1250.

I want to keep the 1070ti for 1440p but I might have to cut down to a 1060 for 1080p

You know, you can just use an RX 580 8gb or 1060 6gb(what I do) for 1440p.

Changing the form factor would save a lot of costs. 

Change the RAM to a cheaper and faster kit, and change the SSD to the SL308, that would also save some cost.

If it doesn't bother you so much, you could go for a cheaper case. Cases like the s340 or s340 elite are cheaper and still look really nice.

I agree with seon about changing form factor.

The SL308 on newegg is only $5 cheaper.

And the build Is focused around ITX.

You could go for the b350 version of that itx board. IIRC, they are pretty much the same.

And maybe an 1070 non ti?

Non-TI have $10 price difference between even the cheapest cards.

I didn't even notice that the board was X370 haha.

I still stand by the 8gb version of an RX 580.

Get 1x 8GB RAM, so that you can just add another stick to get 16GB.

The SL308 is a good SSD, nearly as good as the 850 Evo. Why are you willing to pay more?

You can get way cheaper 580 8GBs.

Don't get that PSU, it's crap.

On newegg the EVO is cheaper.

And everyone else is suggesting 2x4 because of dual-channel.

Since when is $90 cheaper than $85?

The performance difference is offset by the ability to upgrade to 16GB without having to replace the RAM you already have

That thing is a fire hazard. There are lots of actually good PSUs for $30-60, like the TX550M
