Games: Like PUGB, Fortnite, Overwatch and Doom

Productivity: programming, watching videos, email, web-browsing and other non-intensive tasks

Budget?

Bow down to me humans.

I can't help if you don't quote me. How am I supposed to know if you need my premium support? Now starting at £399.99 a year.

Also, be a sport and mark the correct answer as the correct answer. It will help pour souls in the future when they are stuck and need guidance.

"If it works, proceed to take it apart and 'make it work better.' Then cry for help when it breaks." - Me, about five minutes ago when my train of thought wandered.

Remember kids, A janky solution is still a solution.

Well - number one - Dual channel RAM - for your system 2 x 8GB

Cooler - I would make it an AIO (NZXT Kraken)

Fans - I would make them RGB, and add more of them. 

 

Other than that - good build

If you are buying it all 2 Sticks of ram for dual channel, 1080 ti if you are going to get a 1080 the upgrade is probably worth it, Get a Noctua cooler or an AIO 50 to a hundred dollars to cool a 400 dollar CPU isn't that bad. Looks wise Cable-mod cables and Corsair light-loops or the similar fans from CES

Debatable at the moment due to it costing almost twice as much

Since its a windowed case, I would get custom cables so that you aren't stuck with the generic black ones. As the others say, get an AIO so you get better thermals on the 8700k.

Get two RAM sticks to have dual channel... 8700k will choke on lack of bandwidth with single channel. Important especially for pushing 144Hz.
