I would personally go for 2 seperate drives insted of 1 big one. It is easier to recover since you can put all your important files on the different ssd than windows ssd. Like this you can format windows drive which makes it easier to clean it up. You will most likely not lose any speed

Looks solid for gaming, I would personally go for 32GB Ram Quadchannel and a bigger Monitor, but these would just be minor details and only a bit more to my own preference.

 

16GB Ram is good enough and 165hz Monitor is better than my old 144hz anyway, so have fun.

Should be good to go for any games you want to play, but if you do a lot of video rendering you might want to consider ryzen. It all really depends on what you will be doing. As far as i know, the i7 7700k is one of the best gaming cpus currently out there and paired with a 1080 you should be good to go. However, the 1080ti is coming in stores very soon and it will yield about a 35% performance increase from the 1080 (according to nvidia) so i would wait until that comes out.

I would personally wait for the 1080ti, as it was announced a few days ago. They are reducing the price of the 1080 with 100$ and placing the 1080ti at the same price the 1080 was.

7700k doesnt support quad channel. And why 32GB? That seems really overkill.

Solid build, but a couple things to note.

- You don't need 750W, go for 650W. 

- EVGA's support outside of the USA is shite

- 1080TI is coming soon

- I'd say get a better board, considering that watercooler just screams 'OC me please!' 

- Take advantage of some of that NVMe action you have on Z270 with a 960 PRO for a little bit more. 

idk

It's the same price as 1080 FE was at release, 650USD. 

Hey, if it isn't too much more, go for it. I'm a guy on the internet, not a cop.

It is having 2 GTX 1070 which perform a lot better than a single 1080 and maybe even a 1080 ti. In the part list we paired this with an ASUS 4K Monitor here you can notice a resolution bump. Overall this pc is amazing.

It's not like dual-channel makes a huge difference anyway. Buy 16GB now, and in the future, buy an identical kit and drop it in.

Not many games support Multi-GPU... And not aiming for 4k gaming either.

I've now updated the build with slightly better RAM and mobo.. Got the 650w psu also and went full black now.. (Although slighty wanted the white still :P)

PSU is mediocre, 4K is a waste of time for now - 1440p144hz is better, worse motherboard and memory, worse SSD, and.. erm.. well.. SLI is a waste of time. Get the single fastest card you can and keep with it.

See if there's any better white mobos. Tomahawk Arctic for example is a seriously white mobo.
