First build help needed !

That link doesn't work, use the permalink, or copy from the [bb] thing

 

I have a budget around 1500-2000€ and I live in France

 

The aim of this pc is to play games like LoL/OverWatch and triple-A games like Assasin creed unity all in Ultra on an ultra-wide monitor 1980-1080 at 60 fps ( I'm also looking to buy a new ultra-wide monitor with a higher resolution) and for some occasional photoshop and file regular backups of Other tech equipment.

 

I'm upgrading because my current pc can't play Triple-A games and because I have the possibility of upgrading.

 

Here is my list of parts I think the Nivida 1080Ti is a bit overkill and I'm not too sure about the other parts even doe I want to stay Intel-Nvidia

I have the 8600k and Asus Prime Z370-A combo. It's good for 5GHz+. I had mine at 5.1GHz but my poor Cryorig H7 could barely cope with it, which is no surprise. I would strongly advise getting a better PSU. Something like a Seasonic Prime Titanium 650w or 750w.

Why would I need more Wats on my power supply if it consumes 474W ?

The 550 watts is only at top efficiency, which you are not going to be at all the time, and if you want to overclock a little (since you have a k-processor, an aio and a z370 mobo) some more headroom would be adviced

It's good to have some headroom with a power supply, because if you add another component or start overclocking, you're going to be pretty close to the limit. Additionally, power supplies have greatest efficiency at around 50% load.

If you pick a 1080 instead of a 1080Ti, and you go with two rather than four fans, you can save a fortune.

Also I would strongly advise against using quad channel on a 4 slot motherboard, as you might need to upgrade your memory at some point.

Realistically, he's going to be looking at under 400W load. Under 450W with an overclocked 1080 Ti and overclocked CPU. 

The difference in efficiency between 50% load and 100% load is 3%. That's not worth it for the additional cost, even assuming 100% system load several hours every day. 

There's a reason why the B1 700W, VS650, CX850 etc make no sense.
