And it will certainly perform better than a ps4 pro in most games. We don't really know Scorpio so idk about that. What I do recommend however is to spend $150 more on a 1070 instead or wait a couple of months until AMD's Ryzen 5 CPUs come out which may lower the cpu cost more. Also add like $20 more for Windows 10 from Kinguin.

very interested in this build, if I did upgrade to the 1070 gtx, it would still run well with the parts listed here?

Yeaa! After the 1070, the total power requirement according to PCPartPicker is about 310sh Watts so a 500 Watt Powersupply is still more than enough. And the bottlenecks will be minimal. If you do decide to get an SSD, you can choose a western digital Blue hard drive instead of their black series since the Blue ones are cheaper but not as fast which won't really matter much since an SSD is faster than both.
But on a budget build, SSD's don't benefit gaming all that much in most cases apart from faster loading times hence why I didn't bother to include it since that money could be going else where like more ram for example. Yes, the OS would be more snappy and the PC in general just feels faster but getting an i5 or 1070 or 16gb of ram would benefit you more in terms of gaming than an ssd will. But if you get an i5 + 1070 + 16gb of ram and still have enough money to get an ssd, go for it but it is certainly going well above the inital price range.
