8700k is better than 7700k in every way possible, while being maybe $30 more expensive.

dom plats aren't required for anything, its mostly for looks and look at my expensive ram 

why 1500w? just, why?!?!?!

you can't nvme raid 0 on z370 for boot drive ;) gotta x299 for that iirc

 

edit:

how much $ do you have for this 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Such a large monolithic case wasted on a tiny AIO.

The i7-8700K is a better gaming cpu. 

 

Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme GTX 1080 Ti is overall a better performer than the Asus Strix OC. I don't think SLI offers that much more. Certainly for the cost it doesn't seem worth it. But to each their own.

 

RAID 0 doesn't really offer anything with ssd boot/system drives. Certainly not worth the cost and additional fragility of the volume.

 

I believe this is a better build:
