It's coming up on my birthday in the next two months, and I thought I'd start working on a new PC to mark the occasion, and I just wanted to mock up a build list, and before I get anything crucial I was wondering if I could get a pass from a couple people to avoid bottlenecking my CPU or GPU. Should I upgrade parts or downgrade parts? Here's the pcpartpicker list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TM94pG

Can I ask you why are you getting 3 monitors of different sizes and resolutions?

Otherwise, CPU and GPU are pretty good match, for gaming 8600k is quite capable. However, you would benefit from Z370 motherboard.

And I'd add SSD to the list, no reason not to get one if you are building a new system

Ex-EX build: Liquidfy C+... R.I.P.

Ex-build:

Meshify C – sold

Ryzen 5 1600x @4.0 GHz/1.4V – sold

Gigabyte X370 Aorus Gaming K7 – sold

Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 GB @3200 Mhz – sold

Alpenfoehn Brocken 3 Black Edition – it's somewhere

Sapphire Vega 56 Pulse – ded

Intel SSD 660p 1TB – sold

be Quiet! Straight Power 11 750w – sold

I'm building a desk into my closet and I'd use the dell 16:9 for games, the 4:3 for chat/music/multitasking, and the tv on a different wall for movies.

I'll check out the Z370.

Edit: Also, how large would you recommend for the SSD?

Is there a reason why you go for a FreeSync monitor and an NVIDIA graphics card?

I like the Zotac Minis, and I chose the monitor because it seemed good enough to be used as a movie-watching platform.

But you are aware that that you cannot use FreeSync with an NVIDIA graphics card?
