Hi Guys! I'm building my 1st Desktop, and i think i came to something close to what the final build will be. I need somo advise for someone in the business that tell me what to change in order to keep the price something similar and the quality higher or to decrease the price without compromise the performance....
Here is the idea:

Please share your thoughts with me and if you think that i sould take some higher end products plz feel free to recomend
ty so much!
1) I wouldn't get a locked CPU on a $1700 computer. You wanna overclock your CPU whenever it can't keep up with the newest games.
Furthermore, I think the R5 1600 is a great CPU choice for only $200. But it falls behind the i7 in some CPU-demanding games, but only in a few. Also the 7700 has thermal issues.
2) Too much cooler if you are not doing any overclocking now. Even the stock AMD/Intel cooler is good enough.
3) I don't like that MOBO. It seems too overpriced for what it offers. If you go AMD you need a B350 mobo unless you want SLI, if so, get an X370 MOBO
4) If you get ryzen we are gonna have to put faster RAM, preferably a single 16GB kit to take advantage of the 64GB of RAM support.
5) Drop 5 or 10 dollars more and get an M.2 SSD, it is much faster.
6) I personally don't like seagate drives. I have heard they have a lot of problems. I don't know if that is the case in the US
7) GTX 1060 is too little considering the other parts and considering you want to game at 144 hz
8) I guess the case depends on your taste so not a problem.
9) WAY TOO MUCH POWER SUPPLY, 850W if meant to be used in SLI systems, do you want a quiet system or something? I think there are better options if silent operation is what you want.
10) I think there are better 144hz monitors for less money.
