What's your use case? Do you have a special attachment to these parts for one reason or another? What's your budget?

 

Depending on your answers to those questions I would make some changes to the list but I'm not really sure what you want right now.

Any specific reason you're going Intel? For this budget, even considering the super overpriced GPU, you can get a lot more if you go AMD.

 

Also, any reason why you're trying to go for the full Strix line? ASUS makes good stuff, but their Strix line, and basically everything in here is a pretty bad value. This entire build can be done with basically the same performance and part quality for about 20% less. Its your money and you get to decide how to spend it, but a lot of this just isn't a great deal.

 

If you wanna keep the strix stuff, get this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vFw2ht

 

If you want a good system and want it for a good price, get this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PxLR2V

The asus crap doesnt make sense and has ass shit value so rip your wallet

 

You are a beginner and no one overclocks immedeatly when they are a first timer so that 11700k is pointless, 5800x is a much better choice here though ditching the strix crap you can easily fit a 5900x (better spent on a gpu upgrade instead tbh)

 

Rams are overpriced and i think tridentz are good overclocking rams, again pointless overclocking hardware you arent gonna use

 

980 pro is only for ppl that run server like workloads and need to regularly transfer massive files, it dont do crap to load times for now
