Those programs are fine just when you get to the stage to reinstall them just look for the latest versions. 

Couldn't say for sure what you would need, but it does sound a little overkill on the application side for your hardware, but if those are what the hardware manufacturer recommends, it would probably be best to keep all of them. It purely depends on the hardware. Probably best to consult an old-school manual or something.

Would you use Ethernet for some of your devices, or do you rely purely on WiFi for all of your devices? Also what what would be your max. spend on this project?

OK. You could pick up a really cheap router off amazon or ebay for very little money. I know that in Britain you can pick up ex-BT routers that can handle your main signal for about 10GBP, and I would presume you could get an equivalent in another country. My suggestion is that you could get some extenders to run off of the main router and put one where the signal from the main router dips. The advantage to this system is that then you can connect say 5 devices to each extender, so you get more connectivity, but the only problem would be that you would have 3 or 4 different WiFi addresses in your house. This would be alright if you just had a laptop that stayed on your desk or a smart TV that didn't move, but for your phone that may become a bit of a hassle. The only thing is that the more extenders you have, the pricier it will be. I can't recommend any parts at the moment, but if you are looking for solid hardware, NETGEAR is good, but it is pricey when new. However, you may be able to pick up second or third hand bits cheap, because NETGEAR stuff lasts and is reliable. Hope this may have been a help..

The next up should be a big one with lots of case modding and hopefully Tempered front panel.

Thanks for the feedback I was thinking an i5,but I have a soft spot for i7s.
 
I love the cool theme reminds me a bit of the joker.

Looks like a good rig. Liking the color scheme and 2 loop ideas. Would say an i5 or i7 for this build though. Would probably be the cherry on top.

You could maybe downscale the Video card a bit, but you wouldn't want to go much lower that that, but that is probably near perfect for the case and I was going to surgest half of those parts anyway. Good job @79 Potatoes.

the i3 7100 doesn't make sense when the G4560 is half the price and only a few fps worse. the motherboard is overkill for an i3, psu is mediocre, and case is way too expensive for a $700 build.

May as well upgrade to an i5. Motherboard wont seem so overkill as well.

I will ask for an AIO for my birthday, until then I will do little to no overclocking

@VicRik
Don't get the MSI boards they are having issues with long post/boot times.
 
They are right you don't need X370 unless you intend to SLI. But if you are not then consider these:

This instead would be much better.

How come there's no official Steam group?
