Like what? Completely open to suggestions as long as the budget doesn't break $1000

Look into Hitachi Deskstar 1TB or 2TB and SU800 drives.

I'd recommend trying for a 144Hz monitor (don't ask me on this one).

I'd recommend getting a 550W PSU that can allow a 2nd GPU if they aren't power-hungry.

Nope. GTX 1060 doesn't support SLI, and RX 580 requires a 650W PSU for XFire support.

$1000.. Im sure we can get a 1070 in here..

It's a squeeze, and totally unnecessary since he's looking at getting a 1080p monitor.

Yeah, 8GB is kind of lacking, compared to the other system but 8GB is still fine. 16GB would obviously be netter, but 8GB is plenty for now and you can easily add more in the future. RAM is like the easiest component to add/upgrade in the future.

Ryzen would get my vote however like others have said i would change a few things. For example i would change the video card to a 1060 or maybe wait for AMD Vega to come out if you want an AMD card. Also i would increase the size if the SSD to 250gb, a 120 doesn't really cut it now. You could save money by getting a cheaper ram kit, maybe a 2400mhz speed kit. Plus I would get a bigger PSU just in case. A CXM PSU is a good choice still though
