Will a GTX1080 be enough to power this monitor at full potential for most games? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0JC-0004-00551&cm_re=Dell_S2417DG-_-0JC-0004-00551-_-Product

 

I mostly play competetive games anyways.

Not sure how I feel about going with a semi-modular power supply, or that case. Also the extreme 4 motherboard is much better than the aurorus according to what Ive researched but I guess i could be wrong?

well spend a bit more for one if you want, i didn't want to go to much over your original parts list

is the 8600k worth it to choose over the 8400?

[Thermosman]

the case is cheap, enough so that its worth it and you can get a nicer one in the future if you want, and you wont lose much

again, extreme 4 may be better, but is more

i would say yes, since you can overclock it

also i forgot, don't buy windows full price, get a OEM key from ebay for ~5$

is this going to replace the build in your signature, because then you could carry over some parts and save a bit of money
