Titan Riptide PC information

Hi everyone.
I'm planning to buy a Titan Riptide PC system in October.
(with 32 GB ram-for 3d modelling and rendering, gtx 1070 GPU)
Question, is a 120Gb ssd enough for the windows drive ,and do I need a separate sound card and Wi-fi adapter?I'd like to get a good headphone later on, and I need Wifi.
And which 1070 GPU should I choose? Palit, Zodac?

I really appreciate any help: )

Ah okay, thanks! A 240Gb ssd was my original plan, but I hoped I could get this system for less than £1500 , but it seems it'll be closer to 1700.
I've got so used to my laptop that I wasn't sure I need to get a wifi adapter separately or not.
And not just rendering, I'm working in unreal engine 4, I'd like to make a vr experience. (I'm using zbrush , photoshop, maya etc)
So I will get a htc vive soon, and this new generation of GPUs are a lot better for VR.

I won't build my own PC(haven't done such thing since I was a teen)
So after making sure what I would need, I ended up on this-
one of Oc's full system
Titan Riptide Overclocked Six Core Gaming PC - Intel Core i7 5820K @ 4.2GHz

With a few changes: 32 Gb of memory for rendering(Ram is cheap and I need as much as I can get)
The CPU is fine-I need a good cpu also for rendering and simulation
250 GB ssd for the OS-Use to have a 90 GB ssd, way too small- So I think I'll need at least 250GB
gtx 1070-For VR work and gaming- and lot's of 3d software are using GPU rendering these days,I was thinking getting a 1060 ,but 1070 is more future proof, and it seems it's worth the money .
I'll need a wi- fi adapter.
Plus a Windows.

(It'll be both a gaming pc and a workstation, I work and paint in photoshop, sculpt in Zbrush, I use Maya and 3ds max, world machine, terragen , unreal engine 4.Also planning to get an HTC vive in the near future)

Bought a big monitor a few months ago, but I'll have to buy a new mouse and keyboard and that's it.

Also there's this prebuilt system:Titan Virtual Force VR Gaming PC - Intel Core i5 6600K @ 4.5GHz, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Graphic card
16Bb memory instead of 32gb , I5 core instead of I7. The difference in price is quite a lot- £400.
For rendering and simulation I7 is preferred. But there's no option to choose a Wifi adapter in the latter one.

What do you think?

So is this a good decision? To go with the Titan riptide pc?
To be honest I'm not sure what motherboard would be the best. There are so many base prebuilt machines here.Skylake etc.
All I know is that I need 32gb ram, and a 1070 GPU, and a good cpu.
But the whole midi tower- micro etc builds are confusing.
I read a few articles about them but I don't want to make a mistake.

Thank you!
I will stick with the Riptide then.
I was looking for a build for around £1200 at first a couple of months ago,but as it's both my workstation-gaming PC,it's worth paying more to gt a good build.
Thanks everyone!
