First of all I'm thinking of a budget around 2000$. I'm thinking this

MSI Z270 Gaming Pro 183$

Intel Core i7 7700K 4.2 GHz 8 MB 425$

Corsair RM750x 750W 136$

ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX DC3 Gaming 780$

Crucial 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz CL16 Ballistix Sport 177$

All comments are welcome, I know I haven't listed a cpu cooler I am open to suggestions :) I alredy have a case so don't need that.

I don't know what graphics card I need but it will mostly be for gaming and it would be nice to be able to play some games in 4K :) 

I am from sweden so sorry for eventual bad grammar and spelling.

For 4K gaming, I strongly recommend saving up more money for a 1080 TI. You'll need that extra power.

New Build (The Compromise): CPU - i7 9700K @ 5.1Ghz Mobo - ASRock Z390 Taichi | RAM - 16GB G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 3200CL14 @ 3466 14-14-14-30 1T | GPU - ASUS Strix GTX 1080 TI | Cooler - Corsair h100i Pro | SSDs - 500 GB 960 EVO + 500 GB 850 EVO + 1TB MX300 | Case - Coolermaster H500 | PSUEVGA 850 P2 | Monitor - LG 32GK850G-B 144hz 1440p | OSWindows 10 Pro. 

Peripherals - Corsair K70 Lux RGB | Corsair Scimitar RGB | Audio-technica ATH M50X + Antlion Modmic 5 |

CPU/GPU history: Athlon 6000+/HD4850 > i7 2600k/GTX 580, R9 390, R9 Fury > i7 7700K/R9 Fury, 1080TI > Ryzen 1700/1080TI > i7 9700K/1080TI.

Other tech: Surface Pro 4 (i5/128GB), Lenovo Ideapad Y510P w/ Kali, OnePlus 6T (8G/128G), PS4 Slim.

Ok, don't know much about ryzen since I haven't been into pc's since I built my last one but now when I started working I'm getting into it:) Can you tell me a bit more why I should go with that, what socket, what generation and stuff to go for also maybe a suiting motherboard and cpu cooler. Thanks in advance.

Ryzen is AMD's new series of chips and they basically are as good as intel chips for a lower price, for what you want I would suggest the 1700x. Here is a build Idea for you

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ccgtTH

 

R7 1700x (8 core, 16 Threads. about as powerful as a 6900k so will destroy the 7700k)

Cooler Master - MasterLiquid 240

MSI - X370 SLI PLUS

G.Skill - Ripjaws V 16Gb

SanDisk - X400- M.2 SSD

Seagate - Barracuda 2TB

EVGA - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

NZXT - S340 (Black)

EVGA - SuperNOVA NEX 650W

 

$1745.10

 

Tried keeping a black and silver colour scheme

Thanks, I changed some of the parts that aren't easy to get, also parts are much more expensive here(Sweden) I appreciate the help :) Also never installed liquid cooling but I should be able to do it...
