you can get a 240gb SL308 or 275gb MX300 instead of the 850 evo, cheaper PSU and case, get windows from reddit for $25.

Yes, where do you believe I should be camping out for parts? Also, you don't think I should go for the i7-8700k...why not? Sorry, not trying to question your knowledge, trying to learn where I'm doing overkill and why it is overkill.

I would say the PSU is overkill. For $70 get a 750W Gold+  Full Modular PSU on black friday.

I didn't say you shouldn't

I'd take a long look at the 8600k though. If you're just gaming (you never said what your system is used for) then I'd just save the money and go that route.

 

Other than that:

• Why the 1080 Founders card? I'd go with something with a custom cooler
• I'd get an ATX motherboard in an ATX case, otherwise it looks odd

[GetOffme]

Is there a tool set that anyone recommends I get for this?
