This is my first customized rig. previously always use gaming laptop. Intend to purchase and assembly from PC theme.(saw some good reviews about them)Open to suggestions to fit in budget ~1500, can stretch a little bit more without monitor, keyboard and mouse. Need Wifi card though.

This setup i take abit from pre-configured desktop, abit from what i see in HWZ(other people's rig) Hope to meet the budget of below $1500. Games i always play: arma 3, battlefield on minimal high resolution. if possible, ultra high.

MOBO+CPU - ASROCK H270M-ITX/AC + i5-7500(Should i get i7?)
GPU - ZOTAC GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5
RAM - 8GBx2pcs (what should i get?)
SDD - Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5" SATA3 SSD
HDD - Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB 3.5" SATA3 32mb 7200rpm HDD
PSU - SuperFlower Leadex Silver 650W Full Modular 80+ Silver
WIFI - (what should i get?)
Optical Storage - (what should i get?, or is it neccessary?)
CASING: Xigmatek frontliner or Fractal Design Define Nano S Mini-ITX Case w/ Window (Black)
FAN - (what should i get?)
OS - windows 10

Thanks in advance:s22: Intend to get all from one SLS shop(PC Theme) and ask them to assembly for me.

1) No need i7 processor. i5 is more than enough.
2) Any Value Ram will do. No need those high performance or RGB ram.
3) FAN - No need additional fan. Case should have default one front one back. CPU cooler use Intel Stock cooler will be sufficient.
4) WIFI card -- No comments on my side.

Dell S2316H from HWZ Marketplace. That dude selling for $140 only.

Mouse keyboard is personal taste. Can't recommend anything. Logitech seems to be the good stuff lately according to others so do check it out. Find and fondle them to decide which one fit your hand and budget.
