So i put decided i wanted put som parts together on pcpartpicker, as i am new to building pcs (this is literally my first build) and dont really know anything about what parts are compatible and what parts arent. Your thoughts and feedback would be very appreciated, as i would like to know if i should build it. if you do think that I need to change some things up, please keep in mind that i am looking to game in 1440p<3.

That CPU will bottleneck a 1080. Get a better CPU, like an i5-6600K or something along those lines

i don't think i'll need all that storage, and would rather just stick to a  Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" SSD.

and i would still be able to get good FPS in 1440p?

 

A 1070 is great for 1440p, and all you really need is an i5-6600K. You might also be willing to wait for AMD's competitor to the 1070, which we'll see early next year.

It's a CPU that was released back in 2012. The single core performance is super lackluster in most games. It's arguably half what a single core's performance from any Intel CPU is these days. Furthermore, you lack certain features that all current gen intel motherboards have. USB type-C, PCIe Gen 3.0, etc. Hell, the second of the two is more of a shocking thing than the Type-C port, given that AMD's motherboards cannot even measure up to their own damned GPUs! xD 

 

Zen will change this though.
