Honestly? No. You should do better research next time.

what can i change?

[ARikozuM]

Get an air cooler like the Dark Rock.

Forget the extra fans that you've added. 

Among other things. 

[Thermosman]

Use ryzen 1700 instead

[Thermosman]

Also for 1440p don't waste money on 1080 ti

Get a z270 motherboard, the cooler comes with preapplied paste, buy windows from kingguin for 35 bucks,

B250 doesn't allow overclocking

120mm AIO is bad, get air cooler or 240mm (the water cooler that has the shape of rectangle with 2 fans)

WD Blue isn't great, get Evo 850

I would get Seagate Barracuda 2TB instead of Hitachi

No need of a water block 1080 Ti unless you really want balls to the walls

Fans as mentioned above

Razer peripherals are mediocre

Get Cablemods RGB strips, much better

That won't be true in a few years.

its 1440p and 144hz as well

[Thermosman]

True

[Thermosman]

But ryzen is still better

No, it isn't.

Why the hell is AS5 over $20? Anything over $5 for the stuff is overpriced. May as well get something better like Kryonaut Grizzly. Razer peripherals feel cheap. Could go with a better PSU. The poor system will choke from no air in that case and pfft $100usd for Windows.

 

Edit: Just noticed the cpu cooler rad is a single..at that price, no way. My 240mm AIO was around the same price.

A few things I would note. It's not inherently BAD but I would personally change a few things.

 

1) Why pair a B250 with the 7700k? If you're getting a 7700k, you're going to be drawing A LOT of power and could even consider SLI in the future, not to mention higher overclocks with better VRMS. Go with a Z270. If that's too expensive, go with the R7 or R5.

 

2) The 7700k is basically a toaster. I definitely would get a beefier cooler with that. Something with a 240 or 280 rad atleast if you want an AIO.

 

3) Don't know much about that HDD manufacturer, but I would personally go with a more conventional brand like Seagate or WD for ease of mind.

 

4) DEFINITELY go with a higher watt power supply. I would say 600 atleast but would get 750 for ease of mind. You're cutting it really close with that wattage and you can forget about OCing if you go with that.

 

More of an opinion/optional so take with a grain of salt but:

 

1) Why get a 7700k so close to Coffee Lake release? Not a terrible pick for pure gaming but, if you can wait, its worth checking out

 

2) Why RGB ram with no RGB components? You've committed to the red color scheme with the MOBO, so why RGB fans and ram?

 

3) Why two different types of fans? Those will most likely clash together in the same build.

 

Hope this is useful!

1440p 144hz needs a 1080ti on AAA titles. Definitely a good buy IMO.
