How does my build look?

Hello, I just wanted to see what you guys think about my build. I am planning on buying it soon and I would be my first pc that I would build. The computer, keyboard, and mouse are on pc part picker. For some reason I cant find the monitors on PC Part Picker so I just left the link on the newegg page. The main things it will be used for is gaming.

You might want to wait because coffee lake is coming out in the fall and is rumored to be in a new socket so means no upgrade path for you

Also the 850 evo 500gb is only 140

Lastly you won't really benefit from faster memory so you could get a 2400 or 2666 mhz kit and save a little

If you can, try to get a 1080 into the build. The cheapest ones cost ~$50 more than the 1070 you've picked. You can get RAM rated at the same speeds for ~$20 less, albeit without LEDs.

I don't know why you chose the G2 650W, but you can get the G3 550W, Seasonic Focus Gold 650W/750W, and G2 750 for $10-20 less. The TXM costs $30 less, if you don't need it to be fully modular.

If you can wait, get the Coffee Lake I7 when it comes out in October. It will have 2 more cores, and requires a different motherboard. The cost should be roughly the same.
