Hello everyone. I am in the process of building my 3rd gaming PC, and I'd like to say I have a good amount of knowledge and experience by now, but you never know what kind of brainfart you can have or what others can help you with. This is the build I'm going with this time around:

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/QMRHRG

I am going for a build that can run any game at 1080p at max or close to max settings at 60+ fps, as I've always gone for. I love my 144hz monitor and I can never go back to playing games without it, so I need a powerhouse GPU that can push games past 100 fps easily which is why I'm going with the GTX 1080.

I strongly recommend going for a smaller case like the Fractal Design R5, but if you're set on that case here you go.
