For the people that want to use pcpartpicker, try to stick to a $2500 budget since prices translate HORRIBLY from US to EU

Nice PC there mate, maybe get 16Gb Ram ?
G502 is indeed super nice, G510s is fine though I'd recommend you getting the G710+

(if you have money for both of those options above)

i'm planning to buy the parts from Alternate

is the 710+ really worth the extra money?

Depends on what you really need on your keyboard purchase. I'd say the strong build quality + Cherry MX Brown mechanical switches are worth it.

G510s isn't bad either, it's kinda my preferred choice in terms of standard membrane gaming keyboard

Is my build future proof?

Actually it's a good choice of hardware. If you are planning to overclock the cpu, choose nzxt kraken x61

Future-proof is a hard thing to say. Maybe you should watch this from our dear Linus ?

You can definitely get something cheaper than can do the same job.

I would also get the EVGA Supernova instead of the Corsair.
