I want to build a PC myself, here is the list I generated on pcpartpicker:

Is this a good combination? Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,

You don't really need such a high end mobo for 60fps gaming. The cpu and gpu at stock settings will give you 4k 60fps and this mobo is more than enough :

@Lucky_SLS Thank you very much, your combination is much better! One more question: I really need WiFi for this desktop, can I buy a WiFi card and add it on this mobo?

Sure... there are plenty of solutions... usb sticks, pci cards, built in mobo wifi....

If You're going for 2700x and such an expensive setup, i'd take that x470 asus or Asrock x470 taichi (this has wi-fi built in). I mean... why saving 100$ on basic component, if You go for setup like that?
Those mobos have very good vrm sections, which may behave better on lower temps with 2700x, especially if You overclock.



I like the setup You posted.
And damn... this screen is big ;-)

EDIT: P.S. You should be fine without OC for a long time, but if You plan to overclock, get better coooler. This stock cooling is ok for a standard clocks, but may be not enough for OC.

wifi adapter : https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/6Zs8TW/asus-pce-ac55bt-b1-none-wi-fi-adapter-pce-ac55bt-b1

the inbuilt mobo ones tend to be lacking in range. good for close wifi sources, but if u need powerful ones, get the one i suggestwd

If you are spending that much money, is there a reason you don't want a 144 monitor?

Probably cuz he chose 32" 4K monitor. With vega 64 You won't get that much fps in 4K in modern games.
60 fps with freesync is still playable. It just fits the rest.

Thank you for your advice. And you are right for the monitor. This 32'' 4k monitor has good price and I think it's good enough for my Vega64 graphic card.
