    paps511 got a reaction from MasterRaceMcqueen in How much extra power do i need?   
    IIRC the optimal efficiency is about 80% of capacity. Not 50%.
     
    For a 7700k and 1080Ti I would suggest 650-750 watts

    You may want to get a 16gb ram kit. 8 seems to be the lower limit now a days.
    Everything else seems really solid
     
    EDIT--
    If you are planning to upgrade ram in the future, why not just do it now? Might touch the limits of your budget though

    OYY you bloody bastard!! I have no problem with you giving your opinion, (it's pretty informative), but I'll never back off from defending Python, If you copy-pasta your post, I'll copy-pasta my response!
     
    Python Pros:
    1. Easy simple syntax:
    Python is dynamically typed which means you don't have to declare variables so be able to use them. i.e. you don't need to write int i, string s, double d[20], because the interpreter does that for you. It can be a con for advanced programmers (lack of control) or working in large groups (complexity), but the pro is that for learning to program it lets you concentrate on the logic of a program, the understanding of the algorithm instead of what could be percieved as busy-work.
    Also it makes for very "human-readable" code. Also indentation matters, so code blocks always look very organized and simple to understand. Understandably many progamers may hate this. (stockholm syndrome to brackets, IMHO { })
     
    2. Lots of great Learning Material
    Being the simple syntactical language it is many have chosen (as OP) to learn this language, maybe as a first step, and that has made for an abundance of great learning materials to start programming. Also many tutorials, and many computer science fundamentals are taught readily with python. There are many online interpreters so you can code through your browser. This is a big Pro.
     
    3. Reach
    I may be repeating myself but the fact that Python has seen such widespread adoption is again a Pro (not unique to Python, ofc, see Java). Python has many many packages to do anything you could want, the community is very big and works with it a lot. Python has lots of use in scientific research, data analysis, bioinformatics, server-side applications, networks, web-devel, etc.. It isn't the only option for any of it, but it is perfectly capable.
     
    Anyway these are off the top of my head.. But I do understand the disadvantages it has believe me, (it's too slow, for example, for what I do). 
    But I leave this here: OP once you have python running. Go into the python interpreter and:
    import antigravity You'll thank me later

    I would take the cpu cooler off, leave cpu in socket, take out ram too, unless it fits in a box...
     
    Get insurance on the shipping if you can
     
    hard drives would be tricky too
