looking for $1500 gaming build, monitor included

[Zaughtilo]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xyF2gL this is what I have right now, don't know if any good

Purchase time = Within next month
Budget = $1500 or close to it
Usage = Gaming mostly, although web surfing and graphic design too
Yes I need a monitor
Yes I need OS (windows 10 preferred)
Monitor specs = 1920x1080 is fine, 120/144Hz, 1ms, 23-25 inch(?) not too big but I'm not too picky on that
I don't need keyboard, headset, mouse or mousepad

Please link the PartPicker system, mate, that way we can tune/tweak it.
Exactly what are your aims? Gaming, yes, I know that but at what resolution? Would you like a fast display? Would you be happy with a 24" monitor or would you like a 32" monster?

Your original build is fine, just swap the motherboard to a B250 as that CPU is locked and that will save you some cash.

Wildcards build is a good deal better, mate, the i5 8600K is a beast of a CPU and the inclusion of the GTX1070Ti is just sweet at this budget.
Only possible change I'd suggest would be to go for a single, faster memory module, you'll lose a little performance but that can be restored a little later by adding a second to bring it up to 16Gb, but I'm really just nitpicking here.
