I would recommend an i7 8700k, the i5 8600k can handle the GTX 1080Ti but in CPU intensive games like Battlefield, it stutters big time because of the lack of hyperthreading. Also, I don't know if it's only me but I will never buy an ASRock board ever again. I've had a lot of DPC latency issues on a few of their boards and one of them died on me out of the blue, it was back in Z77 and Z97 days but I'm still not willing to change my mind. I would recommend ASUS or MSI. Also, that PSU wattage is overkill, I would get a decent 650W.

Would i need to get a better cooler if I buy i7 instead? 

And dont u think an overclocked i5 could be decent, if i get it to like 4,5-5ghz

1. switch the cooler to an aio it will be better for overclocking
2. asus boards are generally of a better quality than ASRock board
3. I switch ram to slightly faster rgb modules
4. I put an m.2 SSD an hdd in it it will be faster this way
5. I recommend a p400 from phanteks or an p110 from antec.

 

but overall your build is ok I would give it a 7 out of 10.

 

Thank you, will look into that  the prices are a little weird in Denmark, so don’t know about everything yet

For 1080p I would get a 1070Ti (or even a 1080 if it's less than $50 more), it's almost half the price and for 1080p, 144fps and high/ultra... a 1080Ti is a waste of money.

But great choice going for 1080p, that way the GPU will least you 3 years for those settings, and you will save a lot of money for future upgrades (like G(R)TX 3070, or even 4070).

I would go for some Samsung 970 SSD (256GB for OS and some programs) and some WD Black HDD for games. But it's up to you.

But isnt 1070 too outdated already for newer games? Or is it the cpu that means the most?

Mobo and psu are overkill. You could easily get a lga 1151 mobo for $110 that will easily support your cpu even with ocing. For the psu, yes, having more is better, but you could get a 650w 

I already own the psu, so i will just go with that  thx for the mobo tip.

Hello

Please help me rate my first PC build.

It's my first time building, but obviously I don't want any mistakes/regrets later, so I would love if you had any changes or stuff like that?

+ Bonus question: What would be the best case for a build of that size? (Looking for a standard case with no need for a "window")

Facts:

The PC is only for high end gaming with a 1080p 144hz monitor. (no need for 4k) would like to play big games on high/ultra

I am going to OC the CPU (maybe big time). Not gonna OC the GPU/ram

I have read that CX PSU's might be a bad choice, but I already own this one, so I don't see a reason not to keep it?

Thanks!
