Building a New PC on Black Friday.

Zentech

Looking for advice on my new build. I would like to hopefully keep it a little lower than the price it is currently at. I want a good balance between cost and performance while also looking asthetically pleasing. I do not think I will be going with the RGB RAM (even though it looks CLEAN).

Dont take this the wrong way but most of those items wont go on sale much / at all during black friday. These are name brand items that will sell without a sale so they most likely wont drop much.

What will you do with the PC? If gaming, which games and at what resolution?

More general advice: 

Don't get the 6700K. Either get the 1700, 8600K or 8700, depending on what you do with the PC. 

The SL308 and MX300 cost ~$20 less than the 850 Evo, and are good SSDs. 

You can get a 3TB HDD for the price of the 2TB Barracuda.

550W is enough for the build. There are lots of good PSUs. Pick a tier 1 or 2 from the list, in 550-650W capacity.

I plan to play maybe any big title games that are out now or in the future along with the basics (LoL, Overwatch, etc...) Honestly, its the first time I've picked the parts out myself and I am not that good at it. Any reccomendations are welcome!
