Intel Core i5 8600K

Msi X299 mobo

Zotac Gtx 1070 amp 8gb

2x8gb Corshair ram

850W Cooler master gold psu

256Gb ssd samsung 850

2tb hdd Western digital

LG dvd,cd and bd (all are rewritable)

Note that drives (samsung and western digital) are sata III.

Thanks in advance.

It's a well balanced build for gaming however you need to change the motherboard as it's not compatible with that CPU, you need a Z370 motherboard.

Yeah its a good build but the 850W psu is a overkill unless he will go for sli in da future. A good CPU cooler is also a must for the build .

Ok so another 1070,quality cooler master cpu cooler and a msi z370 will be ok?

You need a z370 board but yea its a balanced system, looks good will last you for a few years, About the PSU, I would keep the 850w because you never know if you need to get more, or better parts and they can always take up more wattage, always nice to have a little head room for upgrading, if you really wanted to future proof the build, maybe go for a 32 gb kit of ram instead of 16

I wouldn't touch anything made by Cooler master even with a 10ft pole, especially if it's a psu.
