Thanks

750W is overkill, 500W is enough. A 1060 is way overkill for 1080p 60hz, buy a 1060 or 480 for that (A 470 would be fine even).

That's a way overpriced 500gigs of SSD. 

 

6600k will bottleneck a 10880. What fo you need it for? Get a 1070 instead or up it to a 6700k

 

Don't get NEX psu. Get G2 instead

 

Why green HDD

i plan on getting a 1440p monitor soon.

Get a better psu, and a cheaper cpu cooler. Also, not sure why you are getting a 2.5" hdd, 3.5inch are cheaper.

Is it 144hz? If not, a 1070 will still be fine (1070 is fine even if it is). 

[Fluffybea123]

To clarify some of the parts are close to what i have but may not be exactly what i have.

H100i V2 is much cheaper (and newer/better) than the H100i: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/CrDzK8/corsair-cpu-cooler-cw9060025ww

 

Your storage options are very silly... You get more capacity, better performance, and at lower costs if you go with this pair of storage drives instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/brxQD8

 

NEX series units from EVGA are more expensive and lower quality than their G2 counterparts, and are MUCH more expensive than units of similar quality to the NEX... You should look for EVGA G2 550W for your needs (this 650W happens to be cheaper atm, so may as well get it instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/9q4NnQ/evga-power-supply-220g20650y1)

 

GTX 1080 with a 60hz 1080p panel doesn't make a lot of sense. You should spend more money on a higher resolution monitor or higher refresh rate monitor, or save money by getting a weaker GPU (and weaker CPU for that matter too, 6600k is extremely overkill at 60hz)

Thumbs up on getting an optical drive, seems many people don't want one but there are still so many drivers that come on disk and are not easy to find online!

Will a 6600k bottleneck a 1080 because i was looking into getting a higher res monitor.

Higher res vs higher refresh rate depends on the games you want to play. Res will look much better but Hz will make it smoother.
 

But, higher res will reduce the impact of the bottleneck, and a higher refresh rate will actually make it more noticeable.

depends the framerate you want to play at. a 4k 60hz monitor will run fine with a 6600k. if you're chasing a 1440p panel with 144hz+ refresh rate, you could run into some limitations in highly CPU intensive games (even a game like BF 1 has issues running at high refresh rates with a 6600k). In these situations a 6700k would help you greatly. however if you make the changes I recommended in my above post, you should have no issue fitting a 6700k into your build without changing the price. Its also worth noting that you should not play online games via wireless; try to get a physical Ethernet connection if at all possible... you will have a much better experience with fewer random issues (alot wireless can be fine in many situations as well)

Having the wireless option is good though.

i mean if its in the budget to do so, then whatever.... but if hes after the best gaming experience, he should be spending that money on other components (like a 6700k).

[Fluffybea123]

This build is my actual computer as best the parts i could find on pcpartpicker. It seems like i need to upgrade my cpu and get a better monitor, and Cooler.

I like your suggestion I need to start saving so i can upgrade.

You should really put more information in your original posts for now on. Because the way you posted it made it seem that it was a new build, not a current one.
