You should probably go for 120GB SSD and a 1Tb hard drive, it is a good starter. It will allow you to put windows and software on the SSD and your files and games on the HDD. If you want to put a handful of games on the SSD, go for 256GB or higher.

 

i7 is probably not worth the expense I would advise going for an i5, The case seems a bit expensive, I would suggest a fractal design define R5, its cheaper and probably better built than the NZXT case

this is the build i was looking at getting http://pcpartpicker.com/list/X8WvWX I don't know you i should do for storage and you give me some tips please.

What are you using it for? Gaming? I wouldn't bother going for an i7 unless you are using it for rendering, an i5 would be fine for gaming. Also AIO watercooling isn't that great. It would probably be better to get high end air cooling as it is cheaper and gets very comparable results. I would just get a 1/2 TB hard drive and and at least a 120Gb SSD for your OS and a few programs, but the larger the better. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

If he's at 1080p, an i5 would bottleneck the 1070 quite a bit.
