The system you have listed is more of a high end, workstation motherboard with a lower end processor.  If you are buying this to upgrade it later on with a better CPU for other things besides games, then ok.  If you just want games, then get a z370 and an 8th gen intel, or Ryzen.

Rgb isnt worth it

Then how about this

Get an 17 8700k an X cpu is more for content creation z370

Psu is way overkill get that liquid cooled from earlier 

use this for psu amount http://www.corsair.com/en-us/psu-finder

 

also don’t get a 1000w psu get an m.2 sad instead with the money u saved make sure it’s nvme 

Or get some custom cables or RGB strips

This is a powerful rig. Here are my suggestions:

- Get an aircooled GPU to save $50-$100 for no performance benefits, but keep it if you're going for a silent PC.

- Get an i7-8700k for gaming - it's the best one out there at the moment.

- Go for a cheaper motherboard, that's a pricey choice and you probably won't get your money's worth.

- I picked out a nicer case from NZXT for you. It's similar but just a little bit better.

 

With those suggestions you will save ~$200 with little to no performance loss. Here's a PCPP link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xR3BNN
