Honestly I'd wait if possible till at least July when the Nvidia AIB's come out with their custom cooling solutions and cheaper prices. Also that gives time to see benchmarks on AMD's new card and see what truly fits your budget.
But if waiting isn't an option I'd suggest an I5 with a 1070. 8gb's of RAM should be fine.
16 gig RAM kits are available for like $60 bucks (US) so if you can afford them I'd suggest just putting it down now so you don't have to worry in the long term.
