After some reading, 4K probably isn't the way to go since it puts too much stress on the computer.. I'll probably stick with 1080P then so I don't have to spend a bunch on the CPU.

Wouldn't mind a general idea if this build is viable though.

If you're not going to venture into 4k, you can save a bit and go with the 1070

Couple of changes I would make are....

Select the CD under Recovery options.  It's good to have if the drives fails and the partition with it.

For the cpu cooler, I would change to one of the Corsair units for added warranty over the DS branded one. 

For 1080P screen, the gtx 1070 like Snaike mentioned is all you need.  The gtx 1080 would be if you wanted to go 1440p resolution.  But, up to you.

Thanks the input, I bought a 1440 monitor after I did some research. Duel 4K I read is hard on the CPU? So I'll get another 1440 monitor later. I bought this build though so I'm excited 😁 Didn't read your comment about the fan till just now, lol.
