Hello everyone, I am getting ready to order parts for my first Build(hopefully by sunday, except the 1080's), I was just posting on here to see everyone's opinions on it and if you have any recommendations such as parts that may be cheaper and work just as efficiently or any flaws that may or may not need correcting. I am not 100% sure on the case I will be using so if anyone has recommendations for an excellent case that would be wonderful. I have around 1900 overall to burn including the keyboard, this does not include additional fans, paste, wires etc as I have extra money set aside for that.



P.S. the 1080 I will be going with is going to be either the STRIX or the FTW I am unsure which I will be ordering(whenever they are officially released)

P.S.S. The monitor I have there is just a monitor I am using until the end of summer when I will be grabbing a ROG Swift



Here is my pcpartpicker list: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/YcBjXH



If you have any other questions i'd be happy to answer them!

thanks in advance,

- Kris

That's a pretty decent build, I would suggest getting a better cooler. I might also suggest an X99 build on your budget:

Definitely go with a better CPU Cooler than the 212 EVO. It's just outdated at this point. If you aren't planning to overclock you could save some money by going with a locked CPU and H Series board. You'd also be able to shave off a bit by using lower clocked speed RAM. If you do want to OC, a better CPU cooler would honestly be the biggest change I'd make, either going for a good AIO or a big air cooler
