Is my Gaming Computer Decent?

[judewilliams22]

I am going to be buying these parts and building my first gaming computer. Can someone tell me what they think of it? Mainly is it compatible. I like my case but it is somewhat smaller than other mid towers so i might need to change it but i mainly want to know what you think about the parts im getting

Get a DDR4-3200MHz ram kit.
Outside of that, you're good.

That's an awesome build you've tot over there and yes, everything is compatible and should work out just fine. I would only consider saving some money on the OS by getting a cheaper windows 10 key online.

It is compatible. I only have a suggestion: You could go for a 750w gold PSU, just in case you may want to SLI or add more hard drives in the future. Apart from this, I have no other notice.

Will i be ok just taking the ram from the build you listed and putting it on my build. I assume that ram is better than my current one on my build

Intel i7-8700K and GTX1080Ti combo is around 35% better in performance compared i7-8700K GTX1080 combo which is a huge difference. All are high quality components, did not cut on quality to save money.

Yes, although it is optional.

You need a minimum of 850W PSU to have it support SLI with OC. 750W PSU is enough only if you don't push it further with OC.

Do NOT get a janky cut-rate key. Windows costs what it costs, there is no shortcut.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from judewilliams22 : "What about wifi on the motherboard"

I need wifi to play games obviously but i dont under stand wifi cards. I will be getting this motherboard:
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/QNX2FT/asrock-z370-extreme4-atx-lga1151-motherboard-z370-extreme4
What do i need in order to get wifi for my computer.

Wired ethernet is far superior in terms of stability and speed compared to any wifi. Use that.

If you really must have wifi, then get pcie wifi card 802.11a/b/g/n/ac.
