16. Keyboard - RAZER BLACKWIDOW CHROMA
17. Mouse - RAZER MAMBA
18. Headphones - RAZER MANO'WAR

I chose them because (in my opinion):

01. - Currently the most powerful LGA1151 CPU (userbenchmark leader)

02. - The best AIO CPU Cooler

03. - The best TC 

04. - The best 2-way SLI MB

05. and 06. - The best RAM

07. - Why not?

08. - Best SATA III SSD (2nd userbenchmark leader)

09., 10. and 11. - Almost the best HDD (userbenchmark leader)

12. - The best GPU, and ASUS has the highest Boost Clock

13. - The best Full Tower Case

14. - The best PSU (better then Thermaltake, Superflower, Corsair or Seasonic)

15. - The best 1440p, 144Hz Monitor

16. - The best RGB Keyboard

17., 18. and 19. - I know these are a piece of sh*t, but I want to complete the Razer RGB Family

 

01. - No comment (Any better?)

02. - Maybe I will put a Corsair Hydro Series™ H115i 280mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler instead of EK-XLC Predator 360 (incl. QDC). (Any better?)

03. - I don't know if the AS5 is the best TC (I just think so), but i want the best (I don't need liquid metal) (Any better?)

04. - Is there any better MB than the FORMULA VIII? (I don't think so) (Any better?)

05. and 06. - Corsair Dominator Platinum Memory's are my favorite. (Any better?) (I will also buy a Corsair Dominator® Platinum Light Bar Upgrade Kit ) (Any better?)

07. - No comment (Any better?)

08. - No comment (Any better?)

09., 10. and 11. - No comment (Any better?)

12. - No comment (Any better?)

13. - I like the be quiet! DARK BASE PRO 900, but I think I will stay with Phanteks (NZXT, Corsair, Cooler Master and Thermaltake...meh) (Any better?)

14. - No comment (Any better?)

15. - No comment (Any better?)

16. - No comment (Any better?)

17., 18. and 19. - No comment (Any better?)

 

I'm waiting for your opinions. (If somebody have patience, then it would be nice, if I can get a review for each component)

why not go with a 3 tb hdd instead?

So you don't loose all your data. And raid is an option

[Benjamin818]

Because if the HDD dies, then I will lose all my data.

[Gruenbaum]

Good build and some serious overclocking capabilities. Better utilize that!

true...

[Gruenbaum]

@op are you going to use raid or just regular drive usage?

[Benjamin818]

Regular drive usage.

[HKZeroFive]

Not to be a prick, but after reading the OP, I've come to conclusion that your definition of 'best' simply equates to 'unnecessarily expensive'.

 

You don't need a $370 motherboard because chances are you won't need any of the additional features it offers... in fact it's overpriced in my honest opinion.

 

32GB is way too excessive for what I presume to be a 'gaming' build. Stick with 16GB. I don't like Dominator Platinums because they're overpriced for what they're worth but that's your choice.

 

Stick with the 850 EVO. Unless you're benchmarking, you're not going to notice the difference between it and the PRO. And as for the hard drives, don't try to RAID 0 since you're only increasing your chances of data failure. You shouldn't be concerned about drive failure TBH, since the Blacks are basically as reliable as you can get. Just get a single 3TB one.

 

That's not the 'best' power supply objectively speaking but there's nothing wrong with it except for the fact that unless you're going to SLI two Titan XPs, it's overkill.

 

And as for the keyboard... that's far from being the 'best RGB keyboard'. And like you said, you know the rest of your peripherals are crap so why keep them? Prioritise functionality over looks. Get a Logitech G502 and call it a day.

 

At this point, I'm simply try to cut down unnecessary costs for your parts which you could perhaps put it towards a second GTX 1080 or a single Titan XP.

[Matias_Chambers]

Instead of the 850 PRO get the 950 PRO or regular 850 EVO. You could also wait for the 960 PRO.

OK, I got this. What about the CPU, CPU Cooler, Thermal Compound, Memory Cooler, GPU, Case, Monitor and Peripherals?

CPU is fine.

CPU cooler is kinda poor in terms of price/performance ratio but it's undeniably the best AIO cooler on the market.

Thermal compound is fine.

Memory cooler is a bit of an unnecessary part but I can see why you would like to have it for looks.

GPU is fine. If you follow the points I've made above, you could get a second.

Case is fine. I personally prefer the EVOLV Tempered Glass.

Monitor is perfect. I have it and I love it.

Peripherals are crap, as I've said before. I suggest getting the Ducky Shine 5 RGB and Logitech G502.

[Benjamin818]

Thanks a lot.  I'm waiting for other opinions too.

Part Picker list if you can?
