Had a few Pre-built PC's and finally decided to build my own! After a few weeks of Research and about 300 Youtube videos later I would love it if you knowledgeable lot would take a look over my specs and give me some feedback on what I've picked, ie. Compatibility and what not.

MOBO - ASUS Strix Z270F
CPU - Intel i7-7700K
GPU - Asus Strix 1070
RAM - Corsair LPX 3000Mhz 16GB Dual Channel
PSU - Corsair CX650M
Cooling - Corsair Hydro H100i V2
Case - NZXT S350 Elite
Storage - Looking into a 500gb M.2 NVMe if i can afford, if not then Samsung Evo SSD

Any comments, suggestions, experiences, upgrades, downgrades... I'd love to hear it all before i dive in and spend A lot of money on my system. Thanks!

i would suggest getting a 240 or 256 GB m.2 ssd for boot and a 2 or 3 TB HDD for mass storage (Games, Movies, large files). Large SSD's are expensive and you will definetly need the space for the future.

Looks good to me, personally I would probably go for a higher tier PSU (check here and here for example). Otherwise looks good to me.
