Wireless phone charger on the case? I'm going to leave that alone for the time being.

 

Futureproofing isn't the best way to go about your build because the idea becomes pointless once you realise new products are released each year. I'll just say that now.

 

An i7 is unnecessary for gaming, you're not going to be using the hyperthreading that often. Understandable if you're doing some video/photo editing and such, but for a gaming-only build, you're better off investing into other parts.

 

Onto the build. I couldn't fit watercooling in because of the budget allocation (I decided that putting that money into other areas such as the GPU, microphone and monitor would be the better choice). Air cooling also comes with less points of failure and cools better than 120/140mm AIOs.

My Dad said he'll pay only for the PC not the peripherals, I'll separate it from the Build itself. my budget is $1700 and it's $1633, so yeah I think it looks good. but I think it needs LED and Fans, any suggestions?

 

might wanna go get a better ssd and more storage space, i dunno how you can last with 120gb of space. also, don't go with the v300, bad performance.

Let me suggest my critiques:

 

The SSD is crap and it was basically part of a a bait and switch Kingston committed. 120GB of storage is also not much. I suggest going for the storage combination I suggested (mass storage + 250GB SSD for OS and primary games/applications.

 

The Founders Edition GTX 1080 is a thermal throttling, power limited model. In short, don't get it. Grab one with a custom cooler (EVGA seems to be quite good).

 

Not an entirely big deal, but the H440 has pretty bad airflow. Just a heads up.
