Can drop to i5-6600k for very slightly lesser gaming performance.

With a bit left over for a decent pair of bookshelf speakers / studio monitors.

No difference between i5 and i7 in 95% of cases, seeing as the 1070 is almost always going to be the bottleneck but the i7 will be better for editing anyways. Drop to a non-k version if you don't want to OC though.

What wattage is your PSU?

"What wattage is your PSU?"
650W, it should be sufficient

WD Blue is a fairly standard one

I haven't used but hear WD Black is great for gaming.

Edit:

WD Blue and WD Black are the best two Western Digital options for gaming, if we're ignoring competitors momentarily. WD Black 7200RPM HDDs ($100-$230) make the most sense for high-performance computing that requires increased capacity and endurance, though the vast majority of gamers would do well to opt for 1TB WD Blue 7200RPM HDDs at around $54.

Blues are fine I would think, like he won't be gaming off it anyways.

On the back of that, up you SSD to a 240gb one, or add a seperate 240gb for games so you don't have to deal with loading times.
