What should I change?

Cooler psu and monitor 

[Damascus]

Cheaper Mobo, better CPU cooler.  Also, a 1080 ti wil get like 200-300 FPS on a 1080p monitor

[suits]

Why is the CPU $200 overpriced?

Yikes yeah.

[PigWithAMustache]

change the case

[suits]

I would go cheaper mobo. Better cooler. 7700k on air isn't really going to be great unless you really like noise

[suits]

Also run a cable to the motherboard instead of wifi if at all possible.

[stealth80]

wow wow wow, has no else thought about a 1080ti with a god damn 1080p 60hz monitor??

 

Faster ram gives more performance, let me look at this

I have to use wifi because the router is in a different room

Heres a build with ssd, actually decent monitor and more realistic GPU.  The cooler is solid as well

When I bought my Titan X MaxwellI still had a 1680x1050p60hz monitor

But I already owned the monitor, didn't buy for it and later upgraded to the 2560x1080p80hz so all good [:

My logic behind some of the compromises :

-cooler : better than H212 , yet only slightly more expensive

-RAM: 8gb is still plenty for most games today . The cost savings were considerable when compared to 16gb , and it's easy to add more down the line.

-SSD : I know 128gb isn't enough for much more than the OS , but it should provide a decent speedup for boot times and better responsivness . Plus it's NVME ( which wasn't more expensive than sata btw )

-Case : doesn't look bad imo . Functionnal , and allows for basic expandibilty and cable management , while still being better than the bargain basement offerings.

-OS : you can get a key off G2A for 30$ instead of buying retail

 

I know, the psu isn't the best , but it's decent . The cx750M is actually a rebranded GS/CS series , and the gen 2 ones are quite good .Plus , i own the unit . It delivers.

This is actually decent OP, not sure about the cooler and something is playing on my mind about that m.2 SSD (cant remember what) but, 7700k and 1080ti with a much better monitor. I would probably drop that PSU and get the Silverstone I linked

This looks good but i'm not planning on overlocking so I wont need the 7700K and then I wont need such a good cooler

Well the main benefit over the 7700 is the extra 600mhz  , while not being more expensive . You could get the 212 and save a few bucks if you want.

OP doesn't need OC , so he could easily swap it out for a 212 evo . 

The 600p did suffer from low iops ( for an nvme offering ) last time i checked , an it might have some heat issues , but it can be switched out for a sata 3 drive if op wants . They were about the same in price.
