I am looking for this level of performance but I have gone a bit over budget.
 
 
I need to know if it possible to change the components to reduce the price and keep the performance.
 
(also pls tell me if I did something wrong)
 
(Edit)
after listening to you guys suggestions  I am gooing with a 500gb ocz SSD, a 1080p 144hz display and  a 240mm radiator, I will stick with 16gb of RAM and look for a case that's a lot cheaper, I think I'll switch to an ASUS motherboard
 
so could you help me look for a case(it has to be compatible of course and it must have a side panel window and a reasonable number of fans included)

Change the SSD to a 500GB one, and the 850 EVO tends to be overpriced anyway so look for a different one like a Crucial MX300.

 

That cooler you chose won't let you overclock much at all. Look for a Cooler Master MasterAir Pro 5, or a Cryorig H7 or H5. That's also a lot of money for a computer case. Should be able to find one for less money.

 

Also you'll have to turn settings down if you want to play in 4K with a 1070. Should still be playable though.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

You can use PcPartPicker and change price and currency (i think) manually.

I suppose that's true. The post isn't even that bad though, imo.

In the US there is only a 10$ difference between the 6700k and the 7700k. in most cases I would say upgrading is foolish, but if you're already spending that much, you might as well be on the bleeding edge!

I don't know where you are shopping, but there are GTX1070's available in the US for wayyyy closer to $400. Also you need to add in what kind of gigabyte Z170. 

Also I would look into a cheaper air cooler. Not sure what they go for where you are, but they go for $35 here.
