Hello

I am going to build my first pc in a few weeks but I want to be sure that this build is ok. I think it is a pretty good build but just to be sure:))

I want this pc to be:
- Futureproof
- overclockable (not the cpu)
- Capable of getting 60 fps on 3440x1440 ultra settings (also for the future)

So if you guys could check if this pc will reach this standards (I am pretty sure it does) then that will be awesome!. If you see anything that need to be changed or could be better pleas tell in the comments:)

PC BUILD

OS: Windows 10 download using a 16 gb USB flash drive.

Case: Sharkoon tg-5. Mid- ATX - 4 fans (3 front, 1 on the back)

Crucial DDR4 ballastic 2x 4 RAM. I choosed 2x4 because 2 of 4 gb will be faster then 1 x 8gb

Segate 2 tb HDD

Samsung Evo SSD - 250 gb

Led strips because they are awesome:))

Motherboard B250 PC Mate - supports DDR4 - ATX - 1151 socket and got good reviews

Intel I7-7700 (I use stock cooler, because I ain't overclocking it)

Gigabyte GTX 1080 Windforce OC edition with 3 fans on it (due to overclock)

Sharkoon 650 watt power supply ( I am not entirely sure about how much watt I should choose, so tips on this will be weclome)

PC tool kit for montage

If that is your meaning of futureproof than its good for that. Just 16Gb of ram are needed for sure and even if not overclocking the CPU still pickup atleast a decent aftermarker cooler. Your CPU will thank you. 650 Watt PSU is like
double you need for this build but still go for it for sure. If you are gonna upgrade heavily in the future i would go for a 850 80+ gold psu like the RM series from corsair.
You are never gonna need more than 850 watts for next 2 years if not going crazy or so with your next build.
If you are only going to have only 1 CPU and 1 GPU then 850 is plenty more then...
