So I am making my first dive into PC gaming/video editing. I decided building my own system would be the best/cheapest way to get exactly what i want. so with reguards to the components below, i was looking for recommendations and advice on my build. Any help/tips would be greatly appriciated! 

 

I have these parts now:

Digital Storm VANQUISH 7 case (from a friend)

ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-H MOBO

I7 8700k

Corsair H115i

GTX 1080ti (on the way)

16gb DDR4 Corsair Vengence LPX 3200 (2x8)

500gb Samsung 960 EVO PCIE M.2 (OS)

3TB seagate HDD (mass storage, lightly used)

 

 

Power supply (here is the big question)

I have a 650W EVGA semi-modular power supply also from the case my friend gave me. (do i need more power?) I am sure i will be OC'ing in the future and i hear the 8700k can really suck down the watts at higher clocks.

 

 

Edit:  Main purpose of the build is to game (VR?) And to host my ps4 streams with OBS as well as edit videos for my youtube channel (Tired of sharefactory...)

Not quite sure the exact part number just picked the case and power supply up last night. It's EVGA semi modular, and 80+ GOLD i belive.

 

What about overclocking headroom?

So it's the GQ? That thing is good.

Even overclocked, 650W is plenty. The 8700K has a ~100W TDP at stock, and the 1080 Ti has a ~250W TDP at stock. Adding ~200W would be no issue
