I myself will be gunning for a 1070 build. There are system builders in my area and I can save up for a system with a 6700K, 16GB RAM and 1070. I can then later on add a second card.
That is about where I'd like to be. Do I build myself or just get one on special for about $1,200 US ? We'll see. I'm OK for now. Not sure about chicken/egg or both. Do I do the build, get the upgraded 4K monitor or wait till I can do both?

IMHO I think the 1060 is the sweet spot for gamers, 1070 would be for enthusiast setups, after that the price per performance increase ratio is just not worth it. Unless you absolutely want to be top of the curve, playing at 4K, multi-monitor setups, maxed out most demanding games, or even other purposes.
I am an enthusiast but for now, I've got two rigs and they are AMD for now. An HD 7970 in one, an RX 480, 8 Gb in the other. The RX 480, depending upon what the developers put emphasis in, can keep up with a 1060. Funny thing: I have the 7970 on a computer with a smaller screen than the setup with the RX 480, but as long as I tone down just a little bit, the settings on cutting edge games like Battlefield 1, still looks pretty dang good. If I do go for the 1070, for now, its more about bragging rights than really seeing a big difference at 1080p.
Course, a new 4 K monitor? It will happen
