Swapped around a few parts

-Dropped the 120mm AIO, a solid air cooler can out perform it for less

-Bumped the RAM to 3000MHz RAM for better performance out of Ryzen for a couple bucks more

-Swapped the GPU for a 1070Ti for $30 more

-Changed the PSU as well since 550 watts is more than enough.

I would wait until August, there are rumors of a new Nvidia Graphics Card. Other than that it seems OK, I would get a better PSU though
