My New Build

[TheOhBuddy]

Hey everyone! Thought I would get some feedback on a build I'm thinking of getting. I used PCPartPicker Canada. Here it is:

CPU: Intel - Core i5-8600K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM (x2 already own)
Storage: Seagate ST4000DM004 (Already own)
Motherboard: ASRock - Z370M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard
GPU: MSI - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GAMING X Video Card
Case: NZXT - S340 (Black/Blue) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

The total is around $1915 CAD Probably will be more with shipping/taxes not sure if PartPicker includes that. But basically I'm just looking for feedback on this build, wondering if there is different parts I can get for the same price that will do the job better or for cheaper, this is my first time building my own PC, have had friends do it in the past and pick my parts for me but I wanted to try it myself and build a PC that'll last because the one I have now is about 4 years old. Any help is appreciated

Couple of comments

Ram should be DDR4 for that CPU/motherboard.

Why M-ITX for the motherboard? Recommend ATX. It'll work fine, it's just a TINY motherboard meant for very small form factor cases.

What are your overclocking goals? Wondering if you'll need a more powerful cooler.

That hard drive is a 5400rpm drive. Potential bottleneck.

Looks ok except ram. I have the 8600k, id recommend a reasonable aio (h100iv2/krakenx62/insert any other reasonable aio
Dont get me wrong i had the 212 turbo led (dual fan one) and temps were fine but it got very loud when at high load (ac origins/pubg/six siege/dying light etc)
Also, get everything you want right away. Upgrading later is going to cost you more trust me i went and got a build with plans to upgrade and after it cost me double what it wouldve cost if i git everything right away.

Besides the comments above, which all valid would have a SSD drive in there for sure plus the PSU is overkill, you can easily go for a quality 550~650w power supply.

Thanks for the comment! I changed the set up a little bit with your recommendations:

Motherboard: Asus - ROG Strix Z370-H Gaming ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
RAM: Kingston - FURY 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Hardrive: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Powersupply: (Based on other comments) EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Also I went down to a 1070ti as I was able to find one instead of the 1080ti

New cost: Roughly $1700 plus taxes/shipping

Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I switched the ram to Kingston - FURY 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory although I'll probably buy two of these for 16gbs. I'm currently using the 212 Turbo in my current build and most games I play it doesn't make much noise, playing games such as Total War, Arma, Pubg, so on.

Moved my PSU down to EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply and added Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive SSD.

Looking really good! I think the only tweak I'd make is a little faster ram like some DDR4-3200.
