1070 would be overkill at 1080p 60 fps. Yes prices are still inflated, not going to go away any time soon tho.
250 is fine as long as you aren't storing your documents and stuff on there, use the mechanical disk for that. Games and applications in general run significantly better on a SSD because of the incredibly faster read times.
The 1600 will be fine for gaming for a while as long as you aren't going for over 100 fps. If you do any workload stuff (media editing, streaming, etc) you could upgrade to an R7 for the additional cores, otherwise upgrade the board to an x370 and get a aftermarket cooler and push some nice overclocks on the 1600.
The 1060 is not a full board card, and doesn't use enough power to warrant spending an extra $40 on a second fan for the card imo. As long as you have good case temps in general, you won't have an overheating issue.
The hardware in this system, even pushed hard, should never use more than that PSU can put out.
IMO, if you wanna spend more money, look into a nicer mouse/keyboard/headset if you don't have them yet. It may not net a performance improvement on you're games part, but it can make it more entertaining to play those games.

Thanks for your advice.

I'll stick to the 1060, definitely staying 1080p... more of a casual gamer than super dedicated. I'll throw D2 and Sc1 on the SSD as well, 250gb is quite alot. Anything else sounds like it's on the HD.

I live in an apartment that gets quite dusty easily...so if I am not as regular with cleaning, the extra fans might be helpful? (are you saying his build has two, and yours one?).

Cheers guys, going on vacation and will start to look at pricing and ordering near the end of it. Might see if I can bundle from a supplier for slightly more (convenience factor).

What case was it?
And what build did you end up going with (so we know the case can accommodate all the components).
Popular ones I would recommend off the top of my head are:
-NZXT S340 (regular and elite)
-Phanteks p30 and p400 (p400 just has more space for hard drives (if you are running like 4+) or custom liquid cooling
-Fractal Design Define C or Meshify C (mini versions as well if you have a mATX mobo)

They all have dust filters for PSU and front fans, PSU shroud for cleaner cable management, and overall good build quality.

This is decent.

Comes with dust filters, and the cable management is sufficient.
