Essentially, the new items are the CPU, motherboard, RAM, SSD, and power supply. Those new items, plus the GTX 1070 which I already own, are going to wind up in my existing Fractal chassis. The rest of my existing PC pieces-- plus Ellyn's old GTX 770-- are going to be migrated to another chassis, and re-sold to one of Ellyn's friends.
In net, the new build is only costing me $260-- and that was only because I had to spend a whopping $170 on RAM that is guaranteed to be compatible with the new motherboard, at 3200 mhz.
This is also the first AMD-based PC that I've built for myself since I assembled an Athlon 700 system in July of 1999. That gives this new system a bit of extra character! Full benchmarks will be forthcoming once I have everything all stable.
