I agree, overclocking, IMO, has little benefit from what i've seen but others will say you can get up to a %30 performance increase depending on chip & silicon lottery (how high a certain chip can be pushed). Either Xeon, non-K i7 or if your just gaming with little to no multitasking I would go i5. Also with no overclocking you can go with a cheaper air cooler which will be plenty effective and more then likely quieter. With your budget and no overclock I would go with something like this...

^^^Wifi, M.2 SSD (much faster then Sata), semi-compact & will run cool. Monitor is 1440P/60hz which I feel is a good compromise for the 1070/1080 for Ultra settings gaming.

Nice build. Fixed your link, https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jess12/saved/

You could do a little bit better price/performance. Here's what I would go with, changed MB (price/features), RAM (better quality/lifetime warranty), PSU (better efficiency) & Case Fans (quieter).

Just a heads up that those Corsair High Performance fans are fairly loud, kind of regretted buying them for my system, would go with the quiet editions.

Your link isn't working, but I found your part list on your profile. You're buying too many case fans. That case already comes with 3, and your h100i is going to occupy where 2 of the other fans would go. So you only have room for 3 more, and even still, it's overkill in my opinion. Also, if you're going to spend that much money on a system, take $100-120 and buy a bigger SSD.

And it's your money so it's your prerogative, but I wouldn't drop $344 on an i7-6700k and a $263 motherboard. The non-k i7-6700 is probably plenty of power, and even still, you could save more money going with a Xeon-e3 v5 or v3 which is equivalent to an i7 but cheaper. Are you just looking for max performance no matter the cost, or would you like me to help you put something together that will save you some money?

Here is my suggestion, which is a completely different build than what you did. It uses the same case, but you get 1TB of SSD storage, I swapped out your i7-6700k for a Xeon e3 @ 3.5Ghz, and swapped out your GTX 1070 for a GTX 1080. With the extra GPU horsepower, I suggest getting a 4k monitor @60hz.

(System Build)

Total cost = $2040

You end up saving $250 and get a better system in my opinion.

It's a good motherboard if you're going to use all of those features. Personally, I don't see the point in even overclocking an i7, it's like turning your Ferrari into a formula racing car to take onto the highway. You've already got a Ferrari which is more than enough for the highway, why throw hundreds of dollars away on an expensive motherboard with overclocking features + a liquid cooler to overclock the thing? You can use that money to buy a GTX 1080 instead.

Yes, the builds myself, cfortney and you had listed are compatible. It's just figuring out now what you want in your build such as overclocking, motherboard features, i7/Xeon or i5, saving more money (swapping 1080 for 1070), etc.

If your still unsure do a bit more research on the games you play/wish to play and what you want the system to do such as video editing or streaming in which the Xeon or i7 would be a better choice.

This is a great build as well, although I would still argue given that an i5 and a Xeon are nearly the same price, I'd rather take the Xeon.
