1080 build for gaming?

I wanted to build a gaming rig with a 1080 innit.
My budget is around 1500 USD

I have made this list, and i wondered if it would be a good build for gaming, i really need a second opinion when spending this kind of money.
I wanted to make it with tempered glass and red theme with air cooling.

Dude, get coffee lake I5-8400 and Z370 MB instead, much better performance and similar price.

You will get more for your money with 8th gen processor.
Similarly priced I5-8400 gets you 6 cores
or I5-8350K gets you 4 higher clocked cores with more available from overclocking.

Ah okay thanks man, is there any particular z370 you would recommend or doesn't it matter which one?

Okay i see, im just not very good at overclocking CPU's and that why i chose the locked version, but i might watch some youtube guides to get into it
