What resolution are you playing at?

And refreshrate?

[HKZeroFive]

You'd think that a build with a GTX 1080 would at least have a i7 6700K...

[DeThroneD]

I'll be playing at 1440p.

at either 60hz or 100 hz..im unsure but will be above 1440p.

I'm not much of an editor so I won't really need the i7's capabilities that much.

But for higher refresh rates an i7 will really benefit you

Thanks, I might consider getting those instead, but i might wait a little longer and see what other people would consider.

I have some questions for the cooler though, would it interfere with the ram sticks? 

[Herman Mcpootis]

kept it at around the same price as your build.

Thanks for the build. I might stick with my  Crucial MX300 275GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive though, and i'm a picky when it comes to the case(cuz its tempered lel o3o), other than that its a great suggestion.

The Intel 600P has about 3 times faster read speeds for about the same price I think.

It says its $30 more, and I think the read speeds wouldn't bother me that much; and I'd like to have as much gigs as possible within that price point. I'll keep your suggestion in mind and might sacrifice some stuff.

Should I go for a 60hz and get the  Acer G257HU smidpx 25.0" 2560x1440 60Hz Monitor or 144hz-165hz and get the Acer XB241YU with my config?
