Hello, I love to get some recommended build for a Gaming Pc that cost 1600; I don't mind spending 200 dollars over the budget (1800 USD) but I prefer to stay in the 1600. Also, I do want to have a liquid cooling system and have an I7.
 
Solution
This build should be bit over $1600. Get the i7-8700k for $350 and a good overclocking Z370 for about $180. Add those to the parts below.

What monitor are you using? If you are gaming at 1080p, there is no point in building a $1600 dollar system.

 
^ that's true. If it's 1080p 144hz, a 1070 is enough. Probably the evga black edition.
Modified Elbert's build a bit since I think the z370 will cost upwards of 180 bucks.
