I have a build in mind and want to hear your opinion on it.

 

The rig is mainly for playing modern AAA titles on my aoc agon 27" 1440p 144hz monitor at decent settings. Peripherals are none needed.

Budget is under 2k€. I plan to overclock that is why i have the more powerful Psu and Aio.

Suggestions are welcome

This is what i came up with : (german site) 


Intel Core i5 8600K 6x 3.60GHz So.1151 TRAY

2000GB Seagate BarraCuda ST2000DM006 64MB 3.5"
NZXT Kraken X62 V2 Komplett-Wasserkühlung 
IN WIN 805 mit Sichtfenster Midi Tower ohne Netzteil schwarz/gold

16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16 Dual Kit

Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming Intel Z370 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR4 mATX Retail

650 Watt be quiet! Straight Power 11 Modular 80+ Gold

8GB Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Strix Advanced Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 (Retail)

250GB Samsung 960 Evo M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 32Gb/s 3D-NAND TLC Toggle (MZ-V6E250BW)

 

EDIT: CPU got a price increase i realized to late. The WOF Version is about 140€ cheaper at 218€.

take the graphics card down a notch. go with a 1060 or 1070. use that money towards a SSD. You can find a cheaper case that is just as good with plenty of air flow.

So here is my suggestion. Do not go for 1600x in this price range. The 8700k or 8600k is much better choice. I do not know anything about those cases but I think that they are pretty pricy so for the sake of your graphics card I would dump it. Nowadays you can find cases for 80-100 euro which give your everything you need. Here is the build which I would go for:

You do not need m.2 ssd rather get sata with bigger capacity. Also at 1440p 144hz monitor would not go lower thatn 1080ti probably. This build has a nice overclocking potential with the extreme4 board. Case has amazing airflow. You have there a 240 cooler which should be enough for cooling the 8700k ... if you do not want liquid you can look for coolers like noctua d15 or dark rock pro 3. They perform similarly and are quieter.

 

EDIT: btw i do not know why but that 8600k is so overpriced on mindfactory ... they have quite good prices but this?!
