I've decided to spend more on a PC build and not use the 2400g. Is this good? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jHcJfH Note: I already bought the case so I can't change that.

What's your budget in USD?

I wouldn't buy two sticks of ram for a motherboard with only 2 slots. I would buy one 8GB stick right now and another one in the future when you want to upgrade, because soon, 8GB isn't going to be enough for gaming.

My main computer:

i7 6700k || GTX 1070 || Asus Z170 RGB || C.M. Hyper 212 EVO || 16GB RAM || 256GB NVMe SSD || 500GB SATA SSD || 12TB total HDD || Define R5 Blackout || 850W PSU

More Details Below :) 

Spoiler

 

| CPU: Intel Core i7 6700k                             | GPU:  EVGA GTX 1070 FTW                                  |  Motherboard: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura
| CPU Cooler: C.M. Hyper 212 EVO             | RAM: 16GB Kingston Fury 4x4 DDR4 2400MHz         | SSD:  Intel 256GB NVMe SSD & Plextor 500GB SATA SSD

| Hard Drive:  WD 2TB Black, 2TB WD Blue, 8TB WD Red     | Case:  Fractal Design Define R5 Blackout Edition   | PSU:  Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 850W

 

| Additional Computer Parts: NZXT Hue for LEDs

| Peripherals: Dell U2414H (x2) || Corsair Sabre RGB || Corsair K95 Platinum || Sennheiser 558's || Modmic

How about this build for around the same price of $950: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mDtPV6

 

The biggest difference between this and your build is the graphics card. The GTX 1070 is a lot better than the 1050 Ti so the gaming performance will be better.
