Why low profile CPU cooler

Why NVMe SSD

Why Evga P2, it's overkill

• The Corsair - H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler may require a separately available mounting adapter to fit the Gigabyte - GA-AX370-Gaming K7 ATX AM4 Motherboard.
• The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6Gb/s port is disabled.

That is a Good CPU cooler,Jack Starvis used that in his build

The original 7700k build he was planning also had a NVME SSD,and there is nothing wrong to have one

I dont want to get him a cheep low quality PSU that will blow up and take his $2000 with it.

Stock cooler is better than it

Normal users won't benefit from NVMe drives so it's a waste of money

EVGA G2/G3 is enough, even a cheap Seasonic S12II won't blow up his system

That's an NVMe M.2, not SATA. Typically they will send you the seperate mounting hardware free, and it should have enough SATA 6Gb/s ports that it shouldn't matter.

I cut the price down so much,if this person doesnt mind going upto $2100,i can add another 1080ti

 

EDIT:Its $2400 not $2100 so i dont think its in his budget

1080 TI SLI Build

Cheeper Single 1080 TI Build

[joshslatts]

Op Here, honestly budget  isn't really a massive deal, if there is a particular item that will suit me better and cost more i'm going to go for it. aesthetics is important to me, i want the thing to look good, nice and clean with a simple color scheme. i just really want a fail safe rig that i can learn how to over clock safely and give me a chance to get creative with a custom water loop. I'm ok with it being overkill, I just want this thing to handle whatever I choose to throw at it and not miss a beat

FE cards  run hot and loud, save money somewhere else like smaller psu, cheaper motherboard, cheaper ssd etc.

What's wrong with you? OP already said budget isn't a deal so just make your own part list for OP, choice is on OP's hand, don't have to be mad

If you're not familiar with making part lists, don't make them

Cheaper don't always mean good like @deXxterlab97 said, founders edition card isn't that good.

Just make your own part list and let OP choose the best

You should be humble and learn from others. Sometimes we may get wrong when we think that we're right.

 

When I first came into this forum, I have a lot of misconceptions about PC building. Later on, I learn a lot from other experienced people and corrected the wrong concepts. Now I'm still learning and I try to correct other people misconceptions too.

 

Just keep learning, other people may be right with their points. Learn to accept them.

You could get a 1080Ti instead if you wanted. You could get an R7 1700 instead of the 1600 if you wanted, but I imagine the 1600 would be perfectly fine. Get the Enthoo EVOLV ATX instead of the P400S if you want. I would. The P400S is a perfectly good, cheaper option though, hence why I included it.

IT IS NOT OVERKILL NOR OVERPRICED FOR A 850 WATTS PLATINUM CERTIFIED PSU

Yes, it is, and yes, it is. 850W is ridiculously overkill since 650W is enough for two GTX 1080's. $170 for an 850W unit is over-priced, whether it's platinum rated or not. You can get an EVGA 850W G2 for like $120, or an EVGA 850W P2 for $130/135. Keep in mind the G2 units could pass for Platinum rated.
