Need help with my first PC build

[dvdsslikas]

Hello everyone,

I've created my first PC build and I'd like to know if there are any improvements or tweaks that could save me some money without losing much performance.

Thank you for your time. I'm looking forward to your inputs.

Show us your build.

Looks OK to me, although I would personally go AMD over Intel. Save a bit of money there.

What are you going to use the PC for? I am assuming Gaming.

You can use the i5 8400 without losing anything in performance.
Did you consider an AMD based System. (Better bang for buck) either a 2600X or 2700X.

Do you have a monitor?
Keyboard mouse?

Are you happy with the onboard Sound?
How will you connect to the internet (Wifi or cable)?

I would suggest a PCIe M2 ssd rather than the SATA SSD you currently have.

I couldn't find any great options for AMD with retailers in my country.

Yes, I have everything, just replacing my old PC.

I will connect to the internet via a cable.

I'm not exactly sure how it works, but my motherboard said SATA so I picked a SATA SSD as well. PCIe M2 seems a little expensive however.

Okey. im stupid so much, i didnt see that you linked build, sorry. If you plan to overclock 8600k you will definitely need better motherboard, you will melt that vrm on msi z370 gaming plus. Something like asrock extreme4 would suit you perfect. Other pc parts are all good, nothing to change.
Here is amd build, you might like it https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hBsMw6 Maybe, cooler is problem here because of mounting kit, however you can get corsair h75.

I wouldn't spend $70 on a small AIO. Just get an air cooler for a lot cheaper.

I got you a better motherboard previously priced around $150. Higher speed Gskill RAM. 1080 GPU and cheaper reliable PSU.

I've decided to try the motherboard and RAM you suggested, but the 1080 is way too expensive in my country so I'll stick with the 1070 Ti. Do you think the CPU cooler is overkill even though I'm going to overclock? My current build looks like this now.
