yeah I though so. you don't really need 850w unless you decide to SLI in the future

rest looks fine.

You can probably get a better case (not in terms of functionality just looks, though if you like the looks N/M this) and I would recommend a slightly less expensive motherboard so you can fit a hybrid cooled 1080 since it will transform into performance due to the lower temps the card will automatically boost itself higher (and obviously overclock better) You can even go for a hybrid 1080 card that has an AIO already installed on it.

I recommend you buying gtx 1070+1080p(21:9) or gtx 1080+1440p(21:9).

Not sure why you need a 1080, i would go for a GTX 1070 instead.

i don't like aios i prefer to custom watercool 

and the overclock won't significantly matter to me because i will be gaming on 1080p so a 1080 is already overkill 

but i am open to getting 1 can you please recomend 1

was originally doing that but could fit a 1080 in my budget so, why not?

I can't do a proper search the firewall at work blocks me but there are some 1080s that already come with a custom water block installed too or you could always get a founders edition and an EK water block and your custom loop.

 

But yeah, have you considered a 1070 and a nice 1440p gsync monitor? I think you can make the budget work and end up with a better overall experience.

I recommend going to a 1070, and buying a larger HDD, your gonna want something over that.

If you plan to upgrade monitor to 4k or ultra wide 1440p, sure.

Monitors last a hell of a lot longer than GPUs you should be spending more on them than your GPU since it will be good for 3 or 4 different GPUs into the future.

RGB done right

That 29" monitor is a bit small.  Have you seen an ultra-wide that size in person?  It would be too small for me, horizontally... the proportion sucks.
