Help in solidifying my new PC build

[JureV]

Hey there!

I would just kindly ask some of your expertise to my rescue. I am putting together a new build for my PC after a very long time, and would really appreciate it if someone could give me a few pointers whether or not the build I came up with is any good at all, or if I could swap out any components for a better alternative. It has been quite a while since I have done this.

The basic components I am building on top are:

Motherboard: MSI 150M PRO-VDH
Processor: Intel i7-6700 Skylake
RAM: 2x Kingston KVR21N15S8/8
HDD: TOSHIBA HDWD110 (cannot find any official links)
SSD: Kingston SUV400S37240G

What I have done now, to the best of my ability, was add compatible components on top of this base. I tried my best to double-check if everything fits and supports each other, but I would immensely appreciate an expert's' advice. I tried asking around local PC retailers, but they seemed more interested in selling me any give one of the more expensive items, regardless of whatever it was I needed at that moment.

The intended components for the upgrade are:

Housing: NZXT Phantom 530 white
Graphics card: ASUS GTX 1080ti STRIX
Power supply: (EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750W
CPU Watercoling: Fractal design celsius S24

The reason for the water cooling is not due to intended overclocking, but rather temperature control. My work room is in the attic, which gets quite hot during the summer. Even in winter the ambient temperature there is always slightly higher than the other rooms in the apartment. I would much prefer a quiet water-cooling based solution, compared to a mass of fans that would whir incessantly.

My only doubt it the graphics card. Instead of the intended one from ASUS, I am also considering taking EVGA's version with a factory applied hybrid cooling solution.

I think those are the things that are of the most importance. I will also double the amount of RAM to 32GB and swap out my OS for Win10 to take advantage of DX12, but I don't see how those two items could negatively affect the PC itself.

I hope anyone can lend me a hand. I'd appreciate it!

It's pretty much a solid build. However, why not get the B250 witha i7-7770? you can get even get a K version for the 4.2ghz stock clock. Everything seems to go together. I would invest in maybe a WD hard drive, over Toshiba.

For the 1080, it's not really going to matter, and I would get the hybrid over anything. 550w is a bit too much. You can get 550 or 650 off the same series. Again, other than that, it's pretty much a solid build. You just want to make sure to invest int he right monitor.
