GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0, 8GB

Couldnt find motherboard "ASUS X99-A",so i put MSI Z270-A PRO ATX LGA1151.

Can anyone give a good advise about the build? Especially on the motherboard.
Is there a fast way to check if it all fit in the case?
Also planning to get 144hz monitor, anything i should be aware of when buy components?
Thank for your attention.

Your CPU and motherboard are mismatched. Pick up a Z270 board and an i7-7700k with that setup. Skylake is last gen, and the price savings on going with last gen over current gen just isn't worth it unless you already have the CPU.

Also I'd go with a 240GB SSD instead of 120GB SSD. That drive is going to fill up way too fast with the size of games and patches.

[XyruH]

Thank you. I swap ASUS X99-A on ASUS PRIME Z270-A LGA1151.
also i7-6700 on i7-7700k

 

[Chugalug_]

Nonononono, the X99-A doesn't support LGA 1151 CPUs, that board is for Skylake-E and Broadwell-E chips.
Save up and get the second list I posted, trust me.
The 7700 also outperforms the 6700.

This is better

 

[Chugalug_]

An i5 will struggle to keep up with a 1080ti, and you haven't included a monitor.

 

[Chugalug_]

@OP, if you don't need a monitor included in the cost at the moment, or if you have a second budget for that, get this.
Wait for aftermarket 1080ti cards, don't get the founders edition i've listed.

[XyruH]

I honestly couldnt imagine to get 1080ti card. The prebuilds of 1080ti i looked cost like ~2k.
Ill buy monitor separately so ~1500 budget is for the destop only.

@OP. chugalug has gave you a good build with i7. I gave you alternative using amd ryzen. i7 is a good cpu, you cannot go wrong with it. This ryzen is new and has 8 core 16 thread (i7-7700K has 4 core 8 thread). Ryzen is new, and not optimized with current application. Only just recently, Q4 2016 games just starting to use above 4 thread (nicknamed i5 killer game) and for comparison only 2013 (Rise of tomb rider) was the beginning of 4 thread optimization. It took 3 whole years for game to adapt from 4 thread to above 4. But consider this for alternatives.

This build uses samsung 960 evo which should be 3x faster than standard SSD. 500Gb SSD should be minimum as it is hardly enough with 240Gb.

Good luck

 

[Chugalug_]

The problem is that the lower clock speeds of the Ryzen 1700 combined with the fact that 50% of the threads won't be utilized for gaming don't make it a good buy imo, especially given the higher price when compared to an i7.
If he was rendering, or had use for the extra threads, absolutely.
But given his situation I can't see it being a good value buy.
Also the 960 Evo 500GB is overkill for gaming, all he's going to use the SSD for is OS, software and maybe 1-2 games he plays the most, any higher is too much.
The Bitfenix nova also has terrible airflow, you might want to change that out.
Given he has a 1080ti, a budget case isn't in your best interest imo.

 

[XyruH]

I swap some parts. Looking for last check before buying it. i dont want to buy 1080ti and sacrafice othe componets.

You're not sacrificing anything at all, not sure what you're referring to.
The PSU you listed is very low quality, and the SP550 is better for the money.
Just get what i've listed and wait for aftermarket 1080tis.
