PC Build Help

So after searching for a while, looking at the pc that I want online, and comparing prices, it looks like it might be cheaper for me to buy the parts and go to a local pc shop and have them assemble (hoping it won't be over $120 since I'm providing everything). The thing is, the last time I had a pc built for me the hubby did it, and this was years ago (think The Sims lol). He's no longer into pcs, and super busy with his career.
But could someone look over what I've added to my list for possible purchase. Let me know if something is over kill, something that I don't needs, etc.
Also before I forget, I already have a 1060 but I also want to get a 1070, could I have both of those installed at the same time? Or is that over kill?
Last, If I get the liquid CPU cooler do I need the regular CPU cooler? And what about fans?
Sorry for all of the questions, guys. I'm just use to going into the store or online and just buying everything already assembled.
One more question, should I add an SSD for boot up?

Any good at all?
Or this one...
Delta 500W Power Supply G-Skill 8GB DDR3 1600 Memory Intel i7-3770 CPU ASUS Maximus V Gene Motherboard Seagate 500GB HDD 120 GB Kingston SSD w/ windows 10 Pro (Fully Activated) ASUS GTX 950 STRIX 2GB GPU Thermaltake Versa H15 Case 2 x 120mm Front Intake Fans 1 x 120mm Exhaust Fan USB 3.0 PCI-E Card
Obviously a price difference between the two. Can they run the sims at max settings? What price would you set each at?
@chesterbigbird build help . Thanks!
