First PC build guidance and help

[alexandt03]

Alright guys so I have never built a PC before, or even bought one. I have a build planned out but would love to get some opinions on it, maybe ways to save money, or required upgrades; any constructive criticism. I'm going for a mid/high tier gaming rig that won't require upgrades for quite a while. I don't care about VR, or 4k, i just want 1080p 100fps minimum for AAA gaming. I want a dual monitor setup, one 60hz monitor for a browsing monitor and a 144hz for the gaming monitor. If i went overboard don't be afraid to tell me!

CPU- Intel I5-8600k 6core 4.3GHz
CPU Cooler- Mugen 5 Rev. B CPU Cooler
GPU- MSI Gefore GTX 1070 Ti 8GB
Motherboard- GIGABYTE Z370P D3 (not sure on this)
RAM- G.SKILL 16GB (2 x 8GB) Ripjaws V Series DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz

Memory- Samsung 960 EVO Series - 500GB NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD/Seagate SkyHawk 1TB Surveillance Hard Drive - SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Drive

PSU- EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3
Case- No clue, suggestions? looking at the: Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Chassis with Window Cases PH

I appreciate all opinions and any aide to be given! I'm really not sure about overclocking the CPU, I've been reading around and people insist that it is important but do i really need it? The build is looking to be around $1500 without monitors being purchased, if i could get it cheaper that would be wonderful! Oh, and i forgot. I'm going with windows 10 64bit.

One last thing, where should i buy the parts? I found all the parts on Amazon, but i wannna know if there are better sources.

GTX1180 is only months away and is a huge improvement over GTX1080. I recommend waiting for it. I have left enough budget to get it. This build is balanced and comes packed with high quality components.

I'd rather just go with the Samsung 860 EVO. It's almost half the cost.

Thanks guys, I'm diffidently going to switch the SSD out didn't realize the difference in price for minimal performance. So is the GTX 1180 gonna be affordable? The 1080 ti is sitting at 900 bucks even with the new card around the corner. Lastly, doesn't overclocking the I5-8600k kinda make the I7 obsolete for gaming? i could understand for hardcore cpu usage but gaming isn't that intensive on the component.

if you have a local micro center look at here combo deals. with the new gpu it going to be the minners and stock levels that set the prices. the issue nvidia will have is there newer lower end gpu will be faster then there older high end gpu. so there going to have price the newer gpu better then the older cards and then be able to sell the older cards. places like newegg and amazon sellers right now want to lower the price on there older stock and clear the old stock out but nvidia wont let them sell below map price. on your build keep an eye out if you want to go with the i7 that are out now or wait for the newer i7. the i7 has hyper threading that gives you more cores over the i5. if and when games start using more then one core cpu like the i7 will do better in games over the i5. where i7 and games work out now is people that stream. where and i5 would have issues gaming and streaming and i7 will not. on over clocking...you dont have to do it now with your cpu. if it start lagging in newer games in a few years you can to boost performance. when you do over clock your stressing the parts higher then intel stock settings. you can kill memory or cpu from heat or voltage if not carefull. there are video on youtube of overclocker clocking there new rig and it whent up in flames.

No I think an OC'd i7 is still faster than an OC'd i5 in gaming.

Waiting for GTX 1180 is kind of iffy if you ask me. They'll likely be sold out the day of launch. And you'd have to buy a reference/founder's edition until the aftermarket models come out.

The GTX 1070 Ti is still sort of new. But GDDR6 on GTX 11 series does sound nice.
