This is it : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8V82zM

The parts that i already bought are :

  1. The motherboard
  2. The CPU
  3. The CPU cooler
  4. RAM
  5. SSD

Let me know what do you guys think about my first build and help me by answearing the next important question ( at least they are for me though xD ) :

 

1. Help me get the best ,, ATX Mid Tower ,, case for my build ( i care about how easily you can manage all the stuffs inside it and it's airflow )

2. Do i really have to take care about airflow by the way ? Is that very important to me ?

3. I feel like i should have got and i had the possibilty to get a better RAM / CPU / MOTHERBOARD , like the 7700k and the z270 motherboard , im not expert , i've never seen a comparison between 6700k and 7700k , what do you guys think ?

4. Do you think i should have got a water cooler ?

5. Help me get the source , i have a huge nightmare choosing the one that fits my build ;( ( how many Wats / performance etc. )

6. I want 2k/over 60 fps on ultra settings from this build , do you think that GPU will handle that ? Or i should pick another one like ( STRIX , AMP XTREME , HYBRID ) , i saw that the EVGA FTW couldnt handle 2k/60fps ultra in watch dogs 2 so i'm a bit worried , maybe i could reach that only with a 7700k which i didnt buy ;((((((

7. Should i apply thermal paste on first use ?

8. Any other better monitors than the one i picked ? ( 1440p)

9. I want to buy the monitor from Amazon.Com (https://www.amazon.com/PG279Q-2560x1440-G-SYNC-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B017EVR2VM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484676990&sr=8-1&keywords=pg279q)

but i live in Romania ( Europe ) , do you guys think it will work here if i buy an adapter ?

10. Do you think the AMD's new processors will work on z170 motherboard ? What about on z270 ?

11. Should i buy Case fans ?

 

In case i missed anything please let me know and please help me with some tips or whatever you got , it would mean a lot to me since its my first ever build :)

I appreciate your patience and thanks in advance xD

i'll answer the easy ones

 

3. the performance difference between the 6700k and the 7700k is negligible maybe 1-3 frames in most games.

4. that air cooler will be fine, no matter which you use you'll still be limited by the ambient temperature of the room your PC is in

6. the 1080 is a seriously overpowered card it should be able to run 2k at or over 60fps depending on the games you're running

7. yes, if any is already applied remove it and use your own thermal paste

10. no they are fundamentally different architectures and have their own chipsets, the Zen CPUs will be on the AM4 platform

11. generally no, but if you want more quiet fans then yes because generally speaking stock case fans are loud

Even though you were mean to the other person saying waste of paper and calling him a kid and that it's stutters now finding out you haven't got a clue about that which figures i knew that, anyways i'll help you out . h440 v2 any colour you want for the midtower case , no you don't need a watercooling loop if you don't want to it's not needed. I have the i7 7700k with 212x i will never watercool a pc again i used to have 2x 690s watercooled and over night it leaked and killed my whole pc..  2nd  the monitor you're paying price premium for the ROG name i would personaly go for a BENQ monitor, no i7 7700k wouldn't fix anything major with watchdogs 2 also the difference betwen i7 6700k and 7700k is very small. and no don't buy case fans the nzxct fans are good if you do buy 1 to put it in the front not needed though h440 was made for silence.

overlocking both the cpu and gpu will be able to help in watch dogs 2 ?

no need to oc anything you'll do fine the game is badly cpu optimised and requires more cpu powere but  you won't play watchdogs 2 for 3 years straight so yeh the pc you ordered will do fine i7 7700k is better but not for much maybe 1 or 2 fps difference in that game i would give it more idk tbh
