Hey there!
i've just created my first build and re-iterated it with some friends. Now I'm about to purchase it and I wanted to make sure, that I'm not running in some compatibility issues.
Since this is just a compatibility question, I'm not going to go through all the recommended info in "How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice". I hope, that's ok
Primary usage: photo & video editing
##Here is my setup:
Initial investment:
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz
Cooler: Alpenföhn ATLAS 63.6 CFM
Mobo: Asus PRIME Z270-A ATX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3000
Storage: Samsung 960 Evo 500GB M.2 SSD
Case: be quiet! PURE BASE 600 black
PSU: Corsair RMx 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX
As soon as I can afford it:
Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB
Luckily the i7-7700K has onboad graphics and the mobo has a Display Port, so I can start with that and go on from there.
final stage:
additional Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3000
additional Samsung 960 Evo 500GB M.2 SSD for a RAID0
additional Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB for SLI
The following should be compatible to my knowledge:
case + mobo + cpu + cooler + ram + storage
also the final power consumption should be below 620W
SLI should work.
I'm not sure about:
PSU: do I have the right connectors? enough power?
Raid0: does it work without an extra RAID controller?
I've configured the build in pcpartpicker, but I had to add a lot of parts, since not all were available:

What do you think about it? Any suggestions? How silent will it be? Do you think I can overclock the i7? It should use about 100W overclocked and the cooler is build for 200W.
Thanks in advance!
Wolfgang
