Is This Smart?

Due to GPU's being extremely overpriced and I really want to build a pc this summer I have decided to go with a 1050 ti and 8gb of RAM and get a better case and motherboard which are aren't easy to upgrade, I'm going to then get another 8GB of RAM and a gtx 1070 or something at christmas as an upgrade.

But a 1070 shouldnt cost that much, I would be stuck with an average mobo or I would have to re do the entire build if I was to get a better one whereas gpu's are much easier to upgrade

Well the gpu is temporary because the 1050 ti is one of the only cards still worth its price
