You definitely will want a better case, since the GTX 1070 is a powerful GPU and produces quite a bit of heat. What's your budget? May help suggest relevant tweaks.

I meant what's your budget for your overall build? :) The Zalman would be better than the Engima ones, yeah.

For your budget level, for gaming and video editing, I'd strongly suggest 16gb RAM. The motherboard only has 2 slots for the RAM so if you buy 2x4gb now, when you want to upgrade you'll have to replace both of those. So it's more cost effective in the long run to get 2x8gb now.

I'd advise against the stock intel cooler, get something like the Titan - the intel cooler is pretty noisy.

If you can stretch the budget a little, a Solid State Drive will be a significant asset for photo editing and I understand video editing as well.

Assuming your video editing software makes use of dedicated GPUs, that's probably about the highest spec you can go for within that budget.

Thanks for the advice ( a lot more than i was actually expecting, mean a lot :)) with all that in mind do you think upgrading the case should be done if i can stretch the budget on that aswell?

If you're buying a GTX 1070 and do only one thing from the above, it should be to buy a better case than the "STYLISH PIANO BLACK ENIGMA MICRO-ATX CASE + 2 FRONT USB".

After that more RAM and a better CPU cooler.

The SSD is something you can add more easily and cost-effectively than doing any of the above in the future.
