So after weeks of debating I finally chose the components I wanted to use for my build and to be honest it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Sure choosing a CPU in this time of the year is absolutely horrible because of all the new chips but i like what the 7700k is.
So here's the list of parts:
NZXT 340 Elite White
NZXT Kraken 62 280mm
Corsair HX750I PSU
Intel 7700k
Asus Maximus code IX motherboard
G Skillz rgb trident z 3066 MHz 16gb ddr4 16-cas ram
Samsung Evo 960 250gb M.2
WD Black 2TB HDD (Intel Optane 32gb)
GPU (on hold until next paycheck lol)
