First ever desktop build

[Cakefish]

Hey all, 

 

I've only ever had laptops for gaming before now but seeing as I'm not a uni student  anymore portability is no longer as important, so I'm going to go desktop. 

 

I currently have a rough picture of what I want in my build. Would appreciate any comments or advice on whether this is a good combination of parts (I'm in UK btw):

 

- CPU: Intel i7-6700K 

- Motherboard: MSI Z170A Skylake Gaming M5

- CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212X

- RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 2400MHz

- GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080 

- Storage: Already have 2x M.2 SSDs and 2x SATA SSDs that I'll transfer from my laptop

- WiFi card: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 N900

- OS: Windows 10 64bit

- PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX750

- Case: NZXT S340

 

Is this a decent build?

 

Also, I'm wondering what to do in terms of monitor. I need a fairly large monitor as I'll be wall mounting it and using it whilst sitting on my bed (as my room lacks space for a desk). So at least 27" but preferably 32". Any recommendations? 4K not necessary.

 

Cheers

You could save some money and get the i5-6600k, it is powerful enough to run AAA games and its a great CPU. you wont need an i7 unless you are planning to edit video or do 3d programming or something.
