Solution
U don't need a 360 rad for 8700k gaming loads. A 280 rad is sufficient. The kraken X62 looks gorgeous.

Try the new acer z35p monitor. It's updated with new features.

And actually, u won't experience the difference between a nvme and sata based ssd with gaming load times. So you can step down to a crucial mx500 larger sata drive.

Going with all side tempered glass? U plan on doing ur cable management right? If not, try the new corsair obsidian 500D or the coolermaster mc500m

good build for gaming that will last you a long time. if you need to save some cash you can always go down to 16GB of RAM. most games run fine at 8GB these days.

[strike]also how many watts is the Corsair RM1000x you have chosen?[/strike]

that 100W PSU would be overkill for only one GPU unless you plan to do SLI in the future
 


I will probably SLI in the future like I did in the past. I always choose a future proof PSU, that's why I chose such a PSU.

Or maybe shall I go for the Seasonic PRIME Ultra 850W ATX23 Platinum ?
 


the thing i find with every generation of CPU's and GPU's is the power consumption goes down. even with an 850W PSU you should be able to do SLI with no problems

 
Wow, yeah that's an awesome build. If I was spending for something like that, though, I might think of going with an Intel Optane 900P drive over the Samsung. Could even go down to 16GB RAM and have it be almost a wash on price... but then again I'm an SSD junkie :) I'd definitely at least check out the Toms review to see their impressions of the latest storage tech: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-optane-ssd-900p-3d-xpoint,5292-4.html

Maybe also go with an ultrawide monitor (3440x1440)? Seems like this premium PC would pair well with the top-tier display type rather than a "regular" 1440p.

Oh and FWIW, I love my Seasonic Prime Titanium! I have the 750W but they make it in 850 as well which should be plenty for future SLI.
