Note: I've restricted myself to parts from Amazon and Newegg, because I hate dealing with other vendors, and am willing to pay a little more for it.

With the deadline on free upgrading to Win10 coming up, I'm looking at replacing the guts of my machine now, and swapping out the video card for a GTX 1070 in a little while, when they become easier to get a hold of. Is this a reasonable setup? I want to be able to overclock, but I also want to put a giant stack of HDDs into the box, so the 6 SATA ports on the MSI board are barely adequate.

I recently rebuilt my machine (i5-6600K, 32gb ram) but I held off on replacing my video card because the 10XX series was about to come out. My old gtx760 is dying, though - I had to underclock it heavily to keep it from keeling over under load.

How much longer before 1070s come down to MSRP or under? Or is that a pipe dream?
