New build, need help with components

I'm building a pc for gaming and possibly a little bit of streaming. I have two monitors, one is 4k 60Hz and second one is 1080p 60Hz. 

So I need help with the components choice. Are all the parts compatible? Is the CPU cooler enough for overclocking to about 4.7 GHz? Is the power supply enough? Or anything else you see that wont work?

Also, I'm definitely not going to spend any more money on this, so if I upgrade some component something else has to downgrade.

 

Specs:

Case: Corsair 570x 

GPU: MSI 1080ti gaming

CPU: i7 8700k

CPU coolerBe quiet dark rock 4

Ram: G.skill trident z 16gb 3200MHz

Motherboard: MSI Z370 gaming m5

SSD: Samsung 860 evo 500gb

Harddrive: 1tb 

Power supply: Seasonic focus+ 650 gold

Case fans: 3 extra Corsair sp120 (6 total)

 

Thankful for advice :)

Yes - Maybe ( It depends on CPU but cooler should be plenty-slicon lottery) - Yes - No

Not all. There are some chips that overclock amazingly, and some that are just plain crap. For a GPU, a 1070ti or a 1080ti will be great. The 1080 is beaten by an overclocked 1070ti, so don't buy one of those. 

 

As for the CPU cooler. I am not sure if you are aware, but 8th gen or "Coffee Lake" CPU's run very hot, so AIO's are your best friend when you are overclocking. A 280mm AIO would be safe for up to 4.4 and 4.5, and a 360mm AIO for 4.7 and beyond.

hi.

You might check the cost of the new Samsung 870 Evo ssd, it may be the same price or a little bit less expensive.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Looks good to me. Maybe if Nvidia would release something again you could have even more fps but that looks like a nice, well rounded, fairly quiet build. Good job m8 :D
