Expectations:
I'd like this rig run games on ultra performance settings and have no trouble maintaining that level of performance for at least 4 to 5 years without having to upgrade any components.

Usage:
Mainly gaming and a little recreational graphic design work. The games I normally play are WoW, StarCraft 2, Diablo 3, (I'd like to start playing Overwatch, I'm a Blizzard junkie, I know ), and lets throw a little Dota 2 in there as well. Looking to game on a single 1440 144 mhz monitor.

Side Note:
The current build maximizes my budget, so if the GTX 1070 can meet my expectations right on par with the 1080 that would be good to know.

Lastly, any recommendations for a good 27 inch monitor with the capabilities I mentioned above? I've done a little research myself, but would appreciate some outside advice as well.

Thanks in advance!

I like the build, I think 1080 is a good choice if the budget is there, but that is because I like to have the games to full settings, plus if you go to other games at that res they will need a bit more gpu power.

Having said that bp22 is dead on the money with what he says, so I guess you need to think hard about which direction you would like to go.

Having said that if you are only gonna stick with the games you named and don't need the extra power of 1080 then bp22 suggestion is the best idea.

You got a ticket number for that build

I'm a big fan of airflow specially right over the pgu mobo so for this case if they can do it I picked this "case modification" you can see in the build, adds 2 fans to your side window for better temps and airflow, your cpu is under lc and the rad will appreciate the extra airflow, your mobo and gpu and ram have no lc and will appreciate the airflow even more. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you are going to have high temps without them, that depends on your ambient temp, load temps and case temp/airflow, and I assume you are going to be fine, so this is not an argument from the "high temp" point of view, my reason is simple, heat is the enemy of all your pc components so to me its simple:

if head + components = shorter life span for components,

then

more airflow = better/cooler temps = better life for components.

I had this done for case, I had them do a custom job for me and install 4 x 140mm fans on an extra side window for my custom hailstorm, so I have 2 side windows for my system, once original with no fans and one with 4 x 140mm fans, my cpu/mobo/gpus are all under dual loop lc, and I have 2 huge rads one for each loop, I can tell you that my temps are better with the side window fans then without, and because of this I'm gonna always optout to get side windows fan based on my experience.

Again its a personal choice based on pursuit of best/better temps.

To be honest I'm not sure how much of a difference the better airflow it makes for you, or if you will have the pc long enough to see the fruits of it. As I mentioned its more the pursuit of better temps, the price is not that much. If you have this pc for more then 4 years they would be a good help then too.

I'm just a big fan of airlfow and used to and still do love the haf (high air flow) case for its airflow but I wish it was a bit more sturdy, but it is still one of fav cases because of its big fans and air flow. DS no longer carries them, they are not the best case for shipping, since its not a metal case.

When you look at monitors, forget contrast ratio and response time, they are totally bogus numbers that are not even comparable from one set to another due to different methods used to get the lowest number. Instead look at monitor type and viewing angle and color.

Wish I could recommend one to you but I've been out of the game for a bit and am not upto date on current monitors yet.
