I wondered if all the parts are compatible and if there is something you strongly recommend changing (I already own the case). I live in a country were pc parts are not very available so a part you recommend might not be available (for example there are almost no z370 motherboards and no gtx 1080s). I will be using this build for mainly gaming esports titles at 240 hz but also some productivity. My budget is 1900$ but keep it well under that as the prices are higher in my country.
Thank you for any responses.
