So long story short, i need a pc to play latest games on...

I want to save up some money by saving some old parts from my pc, like the CPU i5-4590 3.30GHz together with my 16 gigs of ram.

But now i need a steady Power supply and a solid GPU and a motherboard to hold it all together.

The power supply:  EVGA SuperNova NEX 650W 80+ Gold 

For the GPU:  Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1

Motherboard:   ASRock Z170M Extreme4

Now, would this work or will it just blow my house apart?

Keep in mind i'm not an expert, thats why i'm asking you guys :P

That motherboard is actually for the socket LGA1151, so it will not work with your CPU, which is an LGA1150 socket.

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Scythe Fuma 2, EVGA GTX 1070 FTW, 2x16GB G.Skill TridentZ Neo DDR4-3600, WD Black 500GB NVME SSD, 2TB WD Green HDD, ASUS ROG STRIX X570-I GAMING, SilverStone SX700-G, Cooler Master NR200P

Should it blow your house apart? Aside from that perhaps your using more power than you need (550W should do the trick, given you can only overclock the gpu to begin with), i dont see it being a bad idea at all to reuse parts that should be fine.

He doesnt need ram, also hard drives and cpu coolers are quite cheap :p.

Nah, you don't need a Z MoBo for a non-OCable CPU

usually, but if you can find it on sale sometimes its cheaper than non-Z. I think on black friday it was 60-65$ or something.
