Seems like you sorted out things on Amazon by highest selling price.

As The Belgian Waffle says, you seem to have found the most expensive things for each slot.

One thing I might point out, Broadwell-E Processors only support DDR4 memory up to 2400Mhz, so you don't need 3000Mhz RAM...

I think your monitor is really overkill. There are plenty of 27" monitor that are half the price

Edit : On the top of my head, there's this one that looks way better IMO https://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B00P0EQD1Q

This isn't really over-kill, but why two different types of SSD that are the same size?

I'm not going to say this isnt powerful, because it is, but it's certainly not the most overkill rig posted here as everyone is saying. Do you need the NVME SSDs? The differnce is only really noticeable when working with large files.

i heard a lot of good things on the 950 pro (my friend got it ) and but it cost a lot so i took another one that cost half the price i hope it ok and not harm the computer... 

 

about the ram it's just that they dont have in stock the 2400 so i took the 3000 the price diff is so small but if i need the 2400 so i will wait for it to be on stock thanks for pointing out

doesn't sound reasonable to me - more like a show-off what-if case to keep the forum bussy. sry pal

show off of what ? i tried to build a good computer and everything here (israel) cost a lot and diff between the high end parts to normal one is so little i went for the high end part 

if u got changes that will make the build better and not a showoff like u say i gladly hear them .

 

i'm a beginner in all this, tried few times to build my computer in the past months but every time my local shop didnt have the parts and i end with not buying and just went with a laptop lenovo y700...
