does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations, or you guys think this is pretty good?

 

Thanks in advance

What's it going to be used for? What's the total budget? And why Intel only?

[JohanAngel]

Sorry, forgot to mention it. It's mostly gaming and the budget is around 1500$. Intel only because he had problems with AMD in the past and decided not to buy again.

[Tha Joker]

You only have a 256GB M.2 SSD, if your friend is a big gamer he will go through that fast after Windows is installed.

 

If it's an extreme tight budget, you can get a Western Digital Blue, 7200 RPM 1TB storage HDD for $45.00 USD.

& and I would swap out the ram for this:

 

8GB Kit:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0123ZBPDA/?tag=pcpapi-20

 

16GB Kit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0134EW7G8/?tag=pcpapi-20&th=1

[JohanAngel]

Yeah, I thought of that too, but I think he will be using his old HDD for steam or things like that

That 1070 has terrible thermals, it also costs more than a 1070ti, so I'd upgrade that.  You can also save $10-$20 by getting a 550w or 650w psu, there's no way this will draw more than 400w and the coolermaster aio can be replaced by a better aftermarket air cooler.  Although bigger, it won't have as many fault points. That plus $50 more and you could also throw in a g-sync 144hz monitor.

The link is wrong. In your build list click the [cc] button (middle of toolbar). Copy & paste the result.

 

A 750W is too large. A 550W or 650W would be better.You might consider a Seasonic Focus Plus or Corsair RMx, they are quieter than the G3.

 

GTX 1070 Ti are usually close in price to GTX 1070.

the problem is that, even though here there is a 1080 (+6% compared to 1070Ti), this monitor does not have G-Sync

Sorry I just listed the same monitor as the original because I didn't know if you had one with g-sync, I didn't check your last post.  This would be better for overclocking and thermals (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/m9n9Cb) and this one is just with the 212 evo if it doesn't really matter (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nDn9Cb), both are 1070ti + g-sync monitor.  Good catch.
