This is the PC which I am planning to build at the end of the year and I am wondering if this is ok or if there is room for improvement in certain areas.

If you can recommend any changes that would be wonderful.

 

Thanks

wait for Coffee Lake intel cpu's. just wait. 6-Core i7 will be much cheaper.

If so, they will be out when I start buying the parts so it should work out

This adds a little more cost but it shouldn't hurt me too much. Would you recommend getting a modular, semi-modular or non-modular PSU

Although that Graphics card offer looks really good, when I click on the link to go to amazon, it is £680 and not £570 which is a huge shame because that would have been an amazing offer for a 1080 ti

Ah yes, completely missed that. Well, keep the GTX 1080 and just change the PSU and SSD.

ssd is good.. "budget mlc ssd"

No, it's the G26 so it's a TLC-based SSD.

 

And being a SSD that uses cheap planar TLC memory, its performance is rather poor: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7726/sandisk-ssd-plus-z410-sata-iii-review/index6.html

The initial SSD PLUS model used to be MLC-based so you're not exactly wrong...

The one I linked. The SL308 is rather good.

can go for Kingston HyperX Savage,

Controller: Phison PS3110-S10, Memory: Toshiba A19 MLC

good looking and mlc

 

or

 

Corsair Force Series™ LS

Controller: Phison PS3108, Memory: 19nm Toshiba MLC

This is the improved version of the pc above, but with a lot more cost. I still havent decided whether to change to this or stick to the previous specs.

Also, the motherboard is cheaper than that at https://www.novatech.co.uk/products/asus-tuf-sabertooth-z270-mark-1-intel-z270-socket-1151-atx-motherboard/tufz270mark1.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjw6NjNBRDKARIsAFn3NModfS2h7ddi0tkCsTrYfORllXnJgdmO24uKmdSw54BY1-Xaa44ipBQaAusUEALw_wcB#utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=products so I am going to buy from here if I get the chance but if the offer runs out I will be buying the MSI Z270-A PRO.
