Hello all,

I am trying to put together a new build because my current system is already 4 an a half years old and well past its prime.

First of all I am originating from Greece and my budget sits around 1900 euros (around 2250 USD).

Anyway i have compiled a list of parts and I would like to hear your opinion and if there is anything you think i should change.

1.Case                 Cougar Panzer                                   https://cougargaming.com/us/products/cases/panzer/

2.PSU                  Corsair HXseries HX1000                  http://www.corsair.com/en-eu/hx-series-hx1000-1000-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-fully-modular-psu-na

3.Motherboard     Gigabyte Aorus Z270X Gaming 5      http://www.gigabyte.us/Motherboard/GA-Z270X-Gaming-5-rev-10#kf

4.CPU                  Intel Core i7-7700K                            https://ark.intel.com/products/97129/Intel-Core-i7-7700K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_50-GHz

5.RAM                 Corsair Vengeanc 16GB 3000MHz    http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/vengeance-led-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-dram-3000mhz-c15-memory-kit-white-led-cmu16gx4m2c3000c15

6.GPU                 Gigabyte Aorus GTX1080                   https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1080AORUS-8GD-rev-10#kf

7.CPU Cooler      Deepcool Captain 240 EX                  http://www.gamerstorm.com/product/CPULIQUIDCOOLER/2016-04/1286_5201.shtml 

 

For the case i will use 4 Corsair ML 120mm fans three on the front and one as an exaust. No need for monitors as i already have one that uses 1440p, as well as peripherals.

I also have 2 Hyper X SSD and 2 HDD which i have purchased earlier this year. My main concern is the CPU cooler. I like the looks of the 240EX and i also like that it doesn't have such cable clutter as the Kraken or some of Corsairs Cooler but I am a bit reluctant when it comes to its reliability.

The use will be mostly for gaming and some video editing.

Anyway guys thanks so much for your time and i would love to hear your feedback. Also please excuse my grammar as English is not my native language.
