My first mining rig, any issues?

Hello guys,
Today I decided I want to start mining for real so I selected the following components but this being my first time doing this I hope I can get input from you guys if I should take other components or if you see any incompatibility or issues with the components I have selected!
Here is the list:
• GPU: 7 x Asus Dual GeForce GTX 1070 OC grafikkort (8 GB)
https://www.elgiganten.se/product/datorer-tillbehor/pc-gaming/ASU1070DO8G/asus-dual-geforce-gtx-1070-oc-grafikkort-8-gb
• MB: ASUS Prime Z270-A, Socket-1151
https://www.komplett.se/product/909948/datorutrustning/pc-komponenter/moderkort/intel-socket/asus-prime-z270-a-socket-1151
• CPU: Intel Core i5-7600 Kaby Lake Processor
(or maybe i get i5-7400, don't think I need more)
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2133MHz 8GB, 2x4GB
• Storage: Kingston SSDNow 120GB M.2 SSD
M.2 2280

• Powersupply: Corsair HX Series HX1200 - 80 PLUS Platinum
https://www.proshop.se/Stroemfoersoerjning/Corsair-HX-Series-HX1200-Stroemfoersoerjning-1200-Watt-135-mm-80-Plus-/2593548
• Pci-e Riser: Kyerivs PCI-E 1x to 16x Powered Riser Adapter Card w/ 60cm USB 3.0 Extension Cable & MOLEX to SATA Power Cable - GPU Riser Extender Cable - Ethereum Mining ETH (6 pcs)

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are
full nodes
like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if
every
miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

It looks fine except your CPU is probably overkill. A simple Pentium or Celeron is usually more than enough... unless you wanted to experiment with mining CPU-only coins.

CPU I would go with an i3. Pentiums get by but celerons do bog down with more than 4 cards. An i5 is too much. If it was me I would do two PSU's. An 850 and a 750. This way you have enough headroom on the wattage and you have enough cables to keep the riser cards at only 2 per. I'd also go for 8 cards instead of 7. You already did all the work, why not max out the rig with one more GPU?

Thanks for the reply guys.
Actually most motherboards I find had only 6 Pci-e. This one has 7 so I don't see how I can add 8 cards into this board?
As for PSU, I will double check, 7 x 150w (gpu) + 65w (cpu) is 1115w so if might be cutting it to close.

Yep for that rig its better to take psu with little more juice. Maybe some 1300w or to go on 6 gpu because they are win 7 friendly.
And yes cpu is overkill but dont use lowest cpu, find something not on end of line.

I have the same board, I'm using a $40 kaby lake g3930 with 4gb ram.
Imo drop the ssd as it's not needed for a dedicated miner, I use a 32gb flash drive running NVOC.
Also this board can support 9 GPU's, you will need to get 2x m.2 to pci adaptors.
