Finishing my gaming build

[patrichpachich]

I am getting the main PC this next week, peripherals will be on next month or 2. I'd like to see your thoughts about this build. I am still looking for cable and lighting solution. This will be used for gaming and rendering.

Black and Red theme
Intel core i7-7700k 4.2Ghz (Intel only)
Asus Strix Z270I Gaming ITX
GSkill Trident Z RGB 16GB 2x8GB DDR4 3000
Nvidia GTX 1080 Founders Edition( still deciding for 1070, 1080 ti or not )
Samsung 850 EVO 500gb
Western Digital 1Tb Black Caviar
Seasonic P-660 Platinum 660W
NZXT Manta Black/Red ITX (mods suggestions?)
Corsair H100i V2 Liquid CPU Cooler (not looking for any custom loop ATM)
APC Back-UPS BX800LI-MS 800VA /415 Watts (would this one be fine?)
Corsair K70 LUX Cherry MX Red Mechanical KB
Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum mouse
Xbox One Wireless Controller
Corsair VOID Wireless Dolby 7.1 RGB Headset
Logitech C922 Pro Stream Webcam
Logitech Z506 5.1 Speaker System
Corsair MM200 Gaming Mouse Mat Extended
BM800 Condenser Microphone Recording

Any suggestions/recommendations would be much appreciated
I am sticking on Intel (No Ryzen please)

I am looking for:
-USB port hub (must have at least 4 ports, has 0.5-1 meter usb cord)
-Cable solution (black and red theme)
-RGB lighting solution

I am looking to get Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q in future (3-5 months for now) or maybe PG258Q

Excellent build, btw the 1070 or 1080 depends on your gaming targets, what resolution will you be running?

1440p or 4k

Refresh rate?
For 1440p 60hz you should stick with a 1070 and 1440p 144hz you should go with a 1080.
I wouldn't recommend 4k on any of the cards.

Yeah but on that part I am still not decided on it cause the difference of price of 1070-1080 is huge for me and of course if ill go with 1080 i should get 4k.

I am going for 120-144hz for sure

No, 1080 is not well suited for 4k, it may have trouble.
If you don't want 60 hz then go with 1080p 120/144hz with 1070.
1440p 120/144hz with 1080.

GPU / Monitor is my least thing to decide since they are expensive. I am looking at it in next 5months
IGP would suffice my basic games such as dota2, csgo and nba 2k17

Any mods?

Well, did you think about buying PSU cable sleeves to match the theme?
How about LED lights?

Any will be great, but Deepcool is definitely a good choice, go for it.
