What kind of 'creative' stuff are you talking about? I am asking this since the parts you've picked are kinda overkill.

What resolution are you going to game at? If 1440p or higher (which I would hope with that 1080ti) you might want to go for an AMD r7 1700x/1700 or r5 1600x/1600 Also what exact PSU is that? and why do you have a z270 board with a non overclockable cpu? And why dominator platinum?

You mean like video editing? If so, I'd go for Ryzen 7 instead of the i7.

 

If you do stick with the i7 at least get the 7700K since you are getting such a good motherboard. Also why get the FE 1080 Ti? Get an aftermarket version, it will have much better cooling.
