What resolution and refresh rate is your monitor?

 

Are you planning on overclocking your CPU?

 

If you want to play at 1440p 60hz, then this is a good pc for you: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gM8tgw

 

This is only good for 1080p 60hz: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LQzV6s

1060 6gb averages 80fps for most use cases I've seen it in

You should wait for two or three months IMO. Graphics card prices will drop because mining difficulty will increase and GPU mining will become unprofitable.

Hey man!

 

I think that this is what you might be looking for. It a pretty good system for the money. Take a look at it. Btw you can get windows 10 for like 30 from kinguin.

Here's a decent build for the money, within your listed budget and you still get your 1070. It's not an Intel chip but it should more than compensate especially if you check the benchmark comparisons. Also, I'm not sure if Microsoft still has it up but last I knew you could still get Windows 10 as a free upgrade through their "Accessibility Upgrade" program so long as you have a legal copy of 7, Vista or 8. Just install what you have, it'll verify legal copy and let you upgrade.
