I want to join th ePC community but as this iss my first build, i need approval first.

Here is the build:https: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/n7GhzY

Notes: the 1080 is way underpriced as i am getting it second hand and that is the average price, the power supply is overkill as in the future i may get another 1080 to set up in sli, i have no storage as i have already bought those (128gb 2.5 inch ssd and 1tb HDD).

Looks pretty good.

You DON'T need a 850W PSU...unless you plan to add another GTX 1080 and overclock the CPU under liquid cooling.

A 500W ~ 650W will already been plenty.

 

IMO, I would used the saved money from the PSU to get a computer case with more airflow in the front -- less restriction.

Solid build. One thing I would change is the power supply. You don't need 850W, 750W will be plenty. Also don't buy G3 model, they have some issues, get 750W G2 and you're good.
