I've already posted this build a couple of times, but this is the first time I put the monitor and keyboard in, also I just want to see if there is anything I should change

The PC will be used to game at 1080p (I might buy a 4k monitor in a year or two)

This is WAAAY out of my budget, so I will wait and buy every single part (over $200) on sale

All the parts look great together.  The only thing I would do different is get the Windows 10 Pro OEM from Kinguin.net, since those are about $35, which is way cheaper, and still legal and legit.

I didn't really put any thought into the OS, but I'll check it out

1- Spend less on the fans, keyboard and the cooler. You can afford a 1080 if you do and frankly they are kinda overkill.

2-Get the i7 7700K if you want to game at 1080 144hz, Ryzen is more a content creator chip.

3- This power supply isn't too good (voltage regulation is all over the place!), get the EVGA G2.

for  #1, I went for these fans because they look great, and there's allready 3 of them in the case. The keyboard is kindof an overkill, and I'll probably just go for the k70 rapidfire, but I love it and will buy it if I can. The cooler is the same as the fans, it looks amazing (it's really cool... I mean both in temperature and looks)

 

#2 I know the 7700k is better for gaming, but I'm planning to overclock the R7 1700 to 3.7 GHz, and I think that SOME game developers will make games that favor 8 cores with just a little lower clock speed, this is something that I can't know for sure, but I'm willing to take the risk. (the 1700 is good enough anyways, and this way I can do more than gaming if I want to)

 

For the PSU, I don't really know, so I'll change it for the G2 as you said.

Thanks
