Make sure your mobo supports kaby lake and do a bios update PRIOR to installing your new cpu or it will result in no POST

i mean depending on the games the 960 won't be able to run most new titles at a constant 60fps on ultra, and i'd go for a 7600k if you have the money

A 1070 is a really nice card- i do recommend waiting until you can afford it.
