First Build

I've been looking to build a new pc for a very long time and am definitely set on buying one very soon. My main focus is purely gaming, I have no interest in changing the CPU to AMD. Here is my build so far, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VFjfWX 

I have mostly everything picked out besides the case and monitor and possibly some other small accessories. My budget is around 2300 but i'd really like to stay under if possible. I am pretty much set on a 144hz 1440p 27 inch monitor but not sure which one I should go with so if anyone has some suggestions please let me know. I was looking at the BenQ but wasn't sure if I could save a few bucks and go with something else. Also the case, I am not set on one what so ever and would very much appreciate any suggestions. I'd like to keep the case under the 120$ mark if possible. Thanks to everyone who helps out :)

Little over, added a nice 1.1tb ssd. :P

Great case and under the price for the case.

i would get this monitor.  https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/UM.HG0AA.001  unless you want g-sync.  i have this monitor and it is great.  there is a ips version for i beleve like another 50 bucks but i didnt really see the difference between them when i saw them and as for the case thats really up to you,  like if you have a particular color theme your going for or something like that but if you just want suggestions then the s340 from nzxt is really nice case and is really popular especally for its price

Why the change of the processor and PSU? Also, I'd be going with a cheaper monitor. Do not need 165 Hz

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LBsz3F Thoughts? May go back to my original motherboard and possibly change RAM if needed.

I'd stick with the cheaper asrock board and for $50 you can get a g-sync 1440p 144hz monitor. PSU is much worse than the TX and the H7 is a downgrade from the justice.

The reason I changed cooler was because of how ugly it was, I was also trying to save a bit of money in some areas. Regarding the PSU, 850W is not necessary what so ever.

i left the 850w PSU in there for SLI headroom, just find a 550w evga g2/3, seasonic focus plus, bitfenix whisper or corsair TXM/RMx. just replace the fan with another one if you don't like the look. and if you're trying to save money why are you getting a much more expensive mobo?

spend abit more for a TXM 650w. you can get a cheaper aorus 1080ti to save money. otherwise its fine.
