Does anybody know if overclocking the 2700X will have a decent effect? Or is the Turbo mode in the Chip already enough?

Nice build, and you'll probably be able to pick better parts for the same amount or the same for less by December.

That said, as well as going for a bigger SSD as Zkuq said, you should double your amount of RAM. 1 stick of 8GB won't be enough, get a second one or a 2x8GB kit. And since you're planning to go with an AMD CPU, the faster the memory, the better it will perform. A 3000 or 3200MHz kit should be your goal.

I just did an update. Taking out the 2TB HDD for now, and just going with a 500 GB SSD. All the games I plan on installing, OS, and other software takes up less than half that space. I'll add the 2TB HDD later. 

Yeah, I'm sure in two or three years 8 GB of RAM will be a joke. I was already planning on getting 1 stick of 8GB, and then adding another 8GB stick later on. I had no clue that there were faster ram sticks out there. Changed the RAM stick to the only DDR4 at 3000 MHz speed.
