Whichever one is cheaper, or that you like the design of more.  All 1080s are withing a few FPS of each other.  There isn't a huge difference in performance unless you are going to a record OC or alternative cooling.

Did you fix this, having same problem

If you can afford the extra money up front, this:

It's a great case.

As long as it is DDR4 yes.  2 sticks of 4GB would be better with dual channel though.
It will be better than an R7240.

Good luck with that. 

How come? I always thought the G4560 is a better fit and for a $50 difference without mining price inflation is 30 frames better in NFS Payback.

8600k is better. Hyperthreading is particularly useful on workstation uses like video editing (to a point where my 2600k can go head-on against a 7600k in that regard). In games, hyperthreading rarely helps. Single core performance is still the major factor.

The South African guy doing replies to Linus' mining videos made one about mining on Threadripper. The possibility of good returns was there, but investing in a whole TR rig just for it is very different to adding a bunch of GPUs to a random computer...

Is a 32core SMT Threadripper @4ghz too much to ask? 

you can go up to RX 580 / GTX 1060 6gb with this CPU and remain balanced, major issue is finding the cards at acceptable pricing right now.

no it wont.

What ever is cheaper in your region, the mid to high sata SSDs perform very similar in a way that you most likely won't notice a difference.
pick the best GB/$ ssd that fits your needs.

if you want really really really quiet fans, get silent wings 3.
I have heard that the corsair fans are not the quietest on the market on full blast, but if you run them at 500-600RPM, you can't hear them. Question is why would you need 6 fans for that config, 3 is more than enough.
 
How did you connect the fans? via the motherboard? then try tinkering with software or bios control? If they are straight on the psu, get voltage regulators or a hub.
What RPMs are they running at? You can see that in HWinfo probably if they are connected to the motherboard or in speedfan. If they run full blast, start trying to get them lower -> first step look into the bios

SSD hands down

Wait for iGPU Ryzen 3, already annouced, will save power and if you ever want to render it will do better, and it would probably be cheaper than than the combo.

Hey Linus! I got a very interesting Korean brand that I want you to look at!

It's a South Korean brand called ABKO and this is their latest mid-tower flag ship case called ''605G Hubble''. Apparently AKBO is S.Korea's most popular PC peripheral brand right now.
 
They also have a whole bunch of keyboards with interchangeable key switches and whatnot and also mouses/headphones.
 
Could you guys check them out? I heard that ABKO was at Computex last year (which was also their first time attending), but no one seemed to have paid any attention to them.
 
But they seem to have a lot of decent stuff!
 

VA is my personal fav, I love the superior contrast and "inky" blacks.

You picked all the wrong Ryzen chips.
 
The Ryzen 3 1200 is better value than the 1300X
 
The Ryzen 5 1600 is better value than the 1600X
 
The Ryzen 7 1700 is better value than the 1800X

"better"
 
For what criteria?
Performance?
Value?
A balance of the two?
IOMMU compatibility (GPU passthrough)?
Virtualization performance?

System memory has nothing to do with your GPU working or not.

Watch this...
 

They should do as many video's of this format as they can and then build the ultimate cheap pc-that-does-not-suck or whatever.
