System won't pull more than 350W under full load and heavily overclocked. 850W is absurd.

I recommend this PSU - http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/486673/corsair-cx550m.html

 

IMO, it's better than the S12II and M12II which are both old group regulated designs.

Yep.

 

It's DC-DC regulated (hence, the polymer capacitors), 40C rated and has a five-year warranty.

finally we can recommend them

they are so cheap but they have a reputation of being garbage, luckly those days are over for these kinds of mid range systems

See above. The Seasonic is an old group regulated design whereas this is not. Not to say the Seasonic is bad by any means but I personally prefer the CX.

 

Comes with all-black cables too if that's your thing.

Get a non-K i5, save money on the board and then you should be able to afford a 120GB SSD with your hard drive. Nobody who can afford a 1070 should have to suffer using a hard drive as their OS drive.

Then buy the SSD first and HDD later. No reinstalls or cloning messes to deal with that way.
