Gaming PC Build Idea. Suggestions?

Hello everyone! I am interested in building my very own PC specifically for playing games on High or Ultra settings with little to zero bottleneck with steady framerate. I am also looking to overclock my GPU and CPU. 

 

At the moment I am not interested in 4k gaming, but instead 144hz at 1080p. This is what I came up with: 

 

PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jp6npG
 

CPU: Intel - Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor  ($238.99 @ Amazon) 
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake - Floe Riing RGB 240 TT Premium Edition 42.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($137.49 @ SuperBiiz) 
Thermal Compound: Gelid Solutions - GC-Extreme 3.5g Thermal Paste  ($12.19 @ OutletPC) 
Motherboard: MSI - Z370 TOMAHAWK ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($111.88 @ OutletPC) 
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory  ($187.99 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($43.90 @ OutletPC) 
Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($43.90 @ OutletPC) 
Case: NZXT - S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case  ($59.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Power Supply: SeaSonic - FOCUS Gold 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($71.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Case Fan: Thermaltake - Riing Plus 12 RGB TT Premium Edition (3 Fan Pack) 48.3 CFM  120mm Fans  ($85.58 @ Amazon) 
Other: Airgoo® Music Dynamic Computer RGBW LED Light Strip with Remote control - for PC Computer Mid Full Tower Case Gaming Computer Case - Fit for NZXT ThermalTake Corsair Case  ($24.99 @ Amazon) 

Total: $1018.89

 

Please Note - A GPU is not listed because I've already purchased one. It is a GTX 1070 Founders Edition. 

 

Any faults pointed out or supported comments are greatly appreciated :). The highest I will go for this build (excluding the GPU) is 1200$. Thanks!!

Should really just get better value parts, and a case with actual airflow

and no SSD? X470 gets you StoreMI which is going to give you 2TBs of fast storage after a few loads

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

"Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas

 

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

don't bother with the ryzen 2600, even the i5 8400 will perform better with higher refresh rates.
