New PC Build - Help is needed

[Zazan]

3 years ago this community help me build my 1st gaming PC that serve me excellent and here i am again asking for help to build a new and better one.

I have decide to buy the following 3 parts and looking for the rest of the components that will work best with them.

GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 (Intel LGA1151/ Z370/ ATX/ 3xM.2/ Onboard AC WIFI /Front USB 3.1/ RGB Fusion/ Fan Stop / SLI / Motherboard)

MSI GAMING GeFroce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDRR5X DirectX 12 352-bit VR Ready Graphics Card (GTX 1080 TI ARMOR 11G OC)

Intel Core i7-8700K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.7GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W

I am looking for help getting a CASE that will fit everything nicely , Power Supply (if needed), RAM (16gb or 32GB), SSD (512). I am planning to do overclocking both CPU and GPU so if anything else is needed please added.

Monitor i haven't decide yet. I want to get 2x 4K monitors but... i am afraid to look prices.

Personally, if you're going for a 1080 Ti, I'd recommend some high refresh rate 1440p monitors. 4k is still stuck at 60Hz unless you want to sell your kidney for a monitor/the hardware needed to run at 4k 120Hz. As a user of both high refresh rate and 4k panels, I've got to say that the slight hit to resolution is DEFINITELY worth the absurd amount of fluidity gained if you go for a 1440p panel.

For cases, it really depends on your price range; are you looking for a budget case, or? Generally, I'd look at the P400S TG from Phanteks, the Meshify C from Fractal, or the S340 Elite from NZXT.

You say (if needed) for the PSU. What model are you running as of now? For the RAM, 16 GB will be fine. I'd only bother with 32 GB if you want to do some high-end 4K video editing, otherwise, you'd be wasting your money. Corsair LPX, Trident Z RGB, and Ripjaws V are some reputable models of RAM I'd look into.

Finally, your SSD depends on the use case. I'd recommend looking at an 860 Evo from Samsung, although you MAY benefit by getting a 960/970 Evo if you're doing A LOT of file transfers.

The more information I have the better. Can you post the specs of your previous PC?

^ I am note sure if the evolv accommodates a 140 fan in the rear, hence the 120 version. Top of the case accommodates 2 140, leave the stock fans in the front.

Instead of getting 2 monitors, I already suggested 1 21:9 ultrawide monitor in the part list above. Check it out.
