Hi guys, I'm building a gaming PC for my friend which will be his first formal high-end rig. The computer will be mainly used to run games like PUBG, 7 days to die, league of legends and should be able to perform well under heavy cpu/gpu load. I would appreciate any feedback or changes I should make because I have been out of the loop in the hardware world.

The changes I made were slight and some based on personal preference.

1. EVGA AIO is one of the better performers if u want an AIO, $10 cheaper.
2. Asrock very well reviewed motherboard will do everything you need.
3. Faster cheaper RAM. Gskill is number 1 currently.
4. Bumped to a 1080 for $40.
5. 750 watts is overkill. 650watt unit is plenty of extra headroom and barely more than the 550 watt.

if he can wait...look at the newer intel x390 chipset mb and the 9000 cpu chips. if there a local micro center look at there combo deals. nvidia in two weeks i dropping info on there newer gpu. on the ssd pick up a m2 or nve for speed. the older ssd top out at 5xx speed the newer m2 slot and nve are faster.
