Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.

Consider getting a better power supply, but apart from that it's a very good build A+

If you have the option to get a high refresh rate monitor, do it.

The build is okay, but it could be better.  You have the 6400 with a Z-Series board.  Although this will allow you an OC, you will lose features of the CPU package when you increase the BCLK.

 

1. You lose your iGPU.

2. You lose your CPU core thermal sensors.

3. L1 cache speed is reduced by 75%.

4. You lose C-states.

5. AVX instruction set gets disabled.

 

Along with the z-Series board, you have the option for higher speed RAM... and man is it ever cheap right now.

 

You have a really shitty power supply.
