Anything wrong with this build?

My only reservation would be the RAM, I do not know how reputable or reliable GeIL are.

All good, no issues. My only comment is that you could save money and get a 500W/550W PSU instead of 650W (There is a 550W version of the G2).

i'd get an i7 6700 if possible, an i5 will bottleneck the gtx 1080. otherwise everything looks fine.

Oh damn you are the one that made the build luke featured right? I think I can drop an extra $100 for the i7, im overbudget anyways so might as well. Thanks.

It was the cheapest one I could find without a red heatspreader.

A i5 will not bottle neck a 1080 my my brother got to enjoy my 1080's in his system for 2 days before I put them on water. He was running arma 3 maxed out at 1440p staying above 60fps

Oh i went for that one because it was 80+gold (not sure if that even matters tbh...) I'll look into that one.

you will be fine with that PSU. It is probably cheaper than the G2 honestly.

It doesn't.

Its rating determines how efficient it is, this only affects how much power it consumes. The thing that is important is the quality of the PSU, although efficacy is a sign of that (GQ is a very good PSU).

this guy's i5 4670k could only get 60-85 fps with cpu load always on 100% with a gtx 1070 while his friend's older i7 3770k gets 100fps with 60-80% load with the same GPU. that shows that the i5 is bottlenecking the gtx 1070 and above graphics cards and isn't enough for them anymore.

This honestly depends at the resolution and refresh rate you're playing at. I have a 1080p 144hz BenQ XL2411Z monitor and I would get CPU bottlenecked on my 4690k when I would play at that resolution and frame rate on Witcher 3. Its been well documented here on these forums from my results. This is why I upgraded to the 6700K and the build that I have in my signature right now. That being said, if your playing at 1440p you will be just fine as your GPU will be not get bottlenecked because it won't get bored. This was on a 1070, so if it was doing it to a 1070 it will most assuredly do it to a 1080.
