I would stick to 580 for that Freesync even though I know a 1070 gives you almost 25% more fps. But I am allowed to do that right? Freesync > FPS right?

Yeah.

Or wait for VEGA. Best of both worlds.

Don't get the X model of the 1600. the non-x model comes with a cooler. so you don't need that cryorig, and it's cheaper, and OC's to the same performance level.

 

With the money you save on not needing a CPU cooler, get a better GPU. go for an RX 470/570, or 480/580/1060 6GB if you can.

I'd highly recommend you save $40-50 and get an RX 480 from somewhere that's not amazon.
