Opinions on first build

[jksp]

Hey guys, I'm new to all the PC building so I thought i could get some opinions on my planned build. Currently it looks as follows:

MSI Z270 Tomahawk

Intel i5-7600K

Corsair H110i

Corsair Vengeance LPX-2133 2x8Gb

Samsung 850 Evo 500GB

WD Red 2000GB 5400RPM

Asus GTX 1060 Dual O6G

Seasonic M12ll-750 EVO

Phanteks Enthoo Pro

 

Now there are a few things I am unsure about:

1. I have the option for a be quiet Silent loop 360mm instead of a Corsair H110i but I'm unsure about the price/benefit (its only 30 dollars more expensive so it's managable)and how i would manage airflow.

2. The required wattage for the powersupply is about 500W so I could go for a 620W Seasonic but seeing other lower end builds having the same or even higher Wattage PSUs i went with this one

3. I am thinking about replacing the GTX 1060 with a RX 580 so i could put a second in in a few years time, and because the monitor i will be buying with the PC will have Free-Sync. Is that a viable option?

4. As i am very unexperienced in Building i didn't know what case to go for. I found some good reviews of the Enthoo Pro and it looks nice so i went with it. But I don't know if there might be better choices.

5. How should i manage airflow in the case so I still get positive air pressure? I live in a quite old and dusty house so negative air pressure would be devastating.

 

Any comments/Improvements for the build are highly appreciated, as this is my first try

Is there a reason why you need the WD Red drive? Seems like you could save some money getting a blue instead.

I just read the first post so here are some more infos:

The budget is about 1700-2000USD (I'm from switzerland so all the parts are a little more expensive here. I think the same build would be about 400 USD less)

I use it mostly for work and gaming. Gaming is a lot of esports titles that aren't all that graphics intensive but an occasional Witcher or Battlefield is imprtant to me, so i dont want to run a potato graphics card.

I plan to hook up 1 monitor currently mostly because of funds. If i get enough money in coming years I am toying with the idea of a triple monitor setup.

I plan on buying a 144hz monitor with 1ms reaction time. And whichever is cheapest at the moment when i need it. I have done the same thing last time buying a monitor and never regretted not getting an expensive one.

I think that should suffice

If you haven't bought anything yet, seriously consider changing to a Ryzen 5 1600 and b350 MOBO.  For the money they are the best bang for the buck.

I went with the Intel option because I don't really do heavy workloads that require more Cores. But I definitely still am intrigued by a Ryzen Build.

Ryzen 5 1600 is better, also it doesn't bottleneck with some high end cards, so you should consider that! But don't get the X versions, they are 2 fps apart from the normal one. Take care!

Ok thank you.

Pure curiosity. Why would you get an Optical Drive ?

I have one in my current rig and it's come in handy a couple of times so I decided i'd get one again. But it could be left out as well.

I see you have a similar build. What is the benefit of getting the faster RAM? It's a lot more expensive where i live and I don't know

The ryzen processors like more ram and are more snappier when faster ram is equipped. Wanted to get even faster but my 1000$ budget is already surpassed. So if you are on intel, everything is good, but on ryzen get a more faster one!
