First Time Pc Builder

I would like if you guys could tell me if my parts look good for the budget I have set in place (about $1500 USD) here's the part list:

 

Intel - Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor

 

Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

 

MSI - Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

 

Corsair - Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

 

Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive

 

Asus - GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Dual Series Video Card

 

Inwin - 303 White ATX Mid Tower Case

 

Corsair - CSM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

 

TP-Link - TL-WDN4800 PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter

 

Asus - VG248QE 24.0" 1920x1080 144Hz Monitor (Getting paid for by someone else)

 

If you could tell me if I missed anything or could replace something with something better please tell me. I have not ordered these parts yet.

 

I am getting this pc for gaming like csgo, pubg, gta 5, and more in the future.

A newer intel architecture or a newer ryzen cpu instead of an old one.  Each new one comes with improvements over the old ones you know

btw this is stock air cooled on a $1500 budget so maybe sacrifice 1080 ti for a 1070 and get water cooled? or maybe get a 1080/$600 gpu so you can get an alright air cooled aio?

stock cooler is enough for a 3.8ghz oc, absolutely not worth it to have such a massive gpu downgrade for an AIO.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J3RdkT maybe this as a nice in between? you dont want to overclock on stock on a $120 motherboard.  At least an air aio would be nice for ryzen.  Not so much a "Massive" gpu downgrade

I probably should have made this clear but the monitor is within the budget what could you shave off to make it around 1200 beacuse the montior is $250 USD (Sorry, to say this after you looked up parts :()

Well a 1080 is definately out of the picture but a 1070 is easily doable.

you lose SLI support, get a much worse motherboard and a slow 2.5' HDD.

when installing your os, select the ssd when it tells you to pick which drive you want to install the os to. for games/apps, set it to download to the ssd. pretty much the same procedure as a HDD.

Back to the topic I know that razen is cheaper but I keep coming back to intel. Is the only way to have an i7 to sacrifice ddr4 ram or ssd memory?
