That is a pretty solid build. I'm not sure I'd change anything about it.

It should have plenty of performance and is pretty upgradable. Your CPU will easily be able to handle top tier graphics cards from the next couple generations (assuming that we see normal progression). The 1060 6GB is great for 1080p gaming and will give you more than 60fps in the vast majority of titles. You've got an SSD so boot times will be quick and load times will be low.

So... yeah, I wouldn't change a thing.

Supernova NEX is an average quality PSU, get B2/G2/B3/G3 or Seasonic Focus Gold.

EDIT: Also, 2 monitors? Was that pick intentional or not?

Very solid build. Good for smooth gaming experience.
Intel i7-8700K and GTX1080 combo is around 60% more powerful than i5-8600K and GTX1060 combo which is a huge gain.
I also included G-Sync monitor to give you smooth gaming experience.
I recommend you to wait for GTX1180 launch in few months if possible. That is around 50% more powerful than GTX1080 on paper.
