If no overclocking 650w will be sufficient, but might no have room to do upgrade or SLI in future. There's actually PSU calculator , just google it. My build is quite identical to yours, just that mine, almost every part is RGB, so yeah.

If you're causal video editing 7700K should be okay. Unless u do for living, really to consider 1800X.

Erm, mine not up yet but I got most of my parts already thanks to lazada recent offer. I still waiting for my CPU shipping from US.

Yah, basically RGB g.skill ram, NZXT x52 RGB liquid cooler, Phentaks RGB LED Stripes, some rgb fans and Phanteks Enthoo. I got myself a PSU 850w because i might intend to do x 2 1070 SLI in future, and also might do a slight overclock.

I think Asus components are way overpriced, If I were you I would get a tuf series one for the 5 year warranty and a Zotac 1080 mini for 739 (qoo10, cybermind) 5 years warranty which is around the same price as the 1070 you selected.

That one is Mark 1. Over expensive for some covers. While it look nice, note that dust still can goes in. It's only dust resistant (due to smaller exposed area), not dust proof. When you doing rig cleaning and wanna clean inside, you'll enjoy very much removing all the shroud. Lol.

Mark 2 way cheaper and still 5 year warranty.
