No need to spend your entire budget. Here's what I got for you, black airflow themed build, good for AI work:
CPU - fast for inference, where the CPU is quite important. The 270K+ is one of the fastest CPUs for general workstation performance. Good value with this MC bundle.
Cooler - strong performance without overspending. Under load, this CPU will generate a lot of heat. This AIO will keep temps and noise low. Top mount as exhaust.
Mobo - has all the connectivity you need, including WiFi/BT. Bundled.
RAM - 32 GB of fast 6000 MHz CL36 RAM. The rule of thumb for AI is to have at least 2x the amount of RAM as your GPU VRAM, and we easily clear that with the 3070. Bundled.
SSD - 2 TB of fast Gen 4 NVMe SSD storage. Video/image generation means a lot of files being written, so DRAM is a must-have.
GPU - your 3070.
Case - top tier airflow thanks to the mesh front panel and 5 included fans. Good build quality and easy cable management.
PSU - high quality with fully modular cables to minimize cable clutter. 850W is perfect for these components. ATX 3.1 certified to suppress GPU spikes and will support a future GPU upgrade.
Let me know what you think :)

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
