Need Help with my new Build with a 1080 TI & I7-7700k

Hello Guys i was thinking about building my first pc. But since this is my first build im not sure if the parts fit well together. Im not sure about the mainboard, the ram, the liquid cooler and which ti i should pick.

CPU: I7-7700k
GPU: GTX 1080 Ti AORUS Xtreme Edition or Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 Ti Gaming OC
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z270E
SSD: 250GB Samsung 850 Evo 2.5"
HDD: 2000GB WD Blue WD20EZRZ 64MB 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s
RAM: 6GB G.Skill RipJaws V black DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16 Dual Kit
PSU: 650 Watt Corsair RMi Series RM650i Modular 80+ Gold
CASE: Corsair Carbide Air 540 Cube

Many thanks in advance!

Good setup. Nothing to worry, all works nice together - although size of GPU may prevent you from installing radiator at front (case specifies 320 mm space for GPU but does not specify if that's with or without radiator, both GPU are almost 300 mm long).

So does that mean the gpu would'nt get enough cooling or what exactly?^^

No, it just means that the radiator won't fit in the front, causing you to install in some other place. Another interesting question for you- while buying all these expensive parts and such, considering it's going to used for gaming and editing, why don't you get more than 6gb of ram? Even getting that odd number of 6gb in ram seems weird to me. I would honestly recommend at least 16gb looking at the rest of these parts.

oops yea i forgot to put the 1 in front :'). And ive got a question if i dont really have the desire to stream or edit stuff etc. should i rather get the i5-7600k than the i7-7700k.

7700 will last longer, before you need to change it to something else to keep up with future games. For now and here, 7600 will do, but I think you will feel the difference between them in about year, max two.

What refresh rate are you trying to hit? If you have a 144hz monitor the 7700k will get you a lot closer in many games.

Dont be alarmed if you see 90C temps on the 7700k - that's happening to a lot of them.
