Eeeey guys!

I've recently got a GTX 1080 Founder's, which led to me saving up for a PC,

so after working my ass off during my Vacation I gathered 2300 Euro's, which is my Budget.

 

So since I'm fairly new I was wondering if u guys could help me choose the components.

 

I have a few things I wanted, so it would be nice if u could consider these things;

- I'm going for a Black with Silver Accents and RGB LED's (for changeable Color Combo's)

(This led me to the Maximus VIII Formula and Corsair Dominator Platinums, of which I know theyre overpriced)

(And maybe the Dark Base Pro 900 Silver aswell)

- I might be looking into a Custom Loop, or atleast an AIO (don't want huge Fans)

(EKWB or AlphaCool?)

- It's main purpose is High-End Gaming and some 3D Rendering (CS:GO-ish), 2K Video and 4K Photo Editing

(Maybe the 6700K or 7700K, because the main purpose is Gaming, don't really mind Render times)

- Good Overclocking Capabilities and it also has to be fairly quiet

- I don't mind saving up and working 2 month or so more for the Peripherals

(I own a Samsung SyncMaster 2032BW, and Mid-Range Logitech Mouse and Keyboard)

- And probably a Samsung or Intel SSD, don't know what Size yet

- Asus Mobo (Only heard good Stories)

- I'm going to Create my own PSU Cover

 

So this is what I came up with;

http://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/QqtV4C

(I'm not gonna buy the GTX 1080, just for Calculating Wattage, and the 6700K could become a 7700K)

 

I would really appreciate if u guys could give me some Tips and Ideas;

and if u have a build in Mind, please send me a PcPartPicker Link, I think German version comes the closest in Prices!

 

Thx for helping me out!

You really dont need an expensive mobo. Changed the mobo and added a WD black 2tb, of course this is an option which strays away from your aesthetics. BUT to consider.
