Hello! So lets just say I have a budget of 600 dollars to upgrade this pc. I am gaming on 1080p, so I do not think I need a 1080 or anything. 

 

Current specs:

*i7- 6700k

*GTX 960 mini 2GB

*16 GB of 2400 mhz Ram (I have 2 more slots availavle)

*2 Terabytes of HDD

*120 GB of SSD

*Windows 10

*A liquid AIO cooler thats similar to the h50i 

*Phantom 240 case from NZXT

*500W not name brand psu

 

Right now I am thinking of getting a 1070 SC, an EVGA 600B1, and maybe another 8 gigs of ram, 2x4gb. Granted, 16 GB is enough, but I think if I ever sell it it would be good to see 24 gigs of ram instead of 16. Also, should I wait for the 1070ti? Again, I am gaming on 1080p. So I think that a 1060 would do if need be.

Case: InWin 303 Motherboard: Asus TUF X570-Plus Processor: Ryzen R9-3900x GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ram: 32 GB DDR4 3000 MHZ

 PSU: Corsair CX750M Storage: 1TB Intel 660p NVME SSD and a 2TB Seagate 7200RPM HDD Mouse: Logitech G600 Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2014 HeadphonesSteelseries Arctis 7 Audio: Shure PGA58 with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen

I would go for a 1070 and new PSU, like you mentioned :) 

Don't worry about the extra RAM unless you need it for something.

Grab a QNIX QX2710 from Newegg when theyre back in stock for $180. Id wait for the 1070Ti release before buying though since it might result in a price drop for vanilla 1070s.
