You'll have a massive bottleneck when you pair a 1070 with a 6350, I'd just save up for a whole new build.

you need a better cpu before you look at a modern gpu

6600K - ASUS Z270i Gaming ITX - 8GB Corsair  Vengence LPX DDR4 2400MHZ - EVGA 1070SC - 120GB HyperX Savage SSD - CX430 PSU:|

That's an underpowered CPU.

GTX 1070 + i5 8400 might be a good combo if you can wait until January for cheaper 1151-v2 boards

GTX 1070 + Ryzen 1400 or Ryzen 1600 is also a great combo right now.

 

new Ryzen CPUs are also rumored to be coming out semi-soon.
