I'm looking to build a gaming PC able to run high graphics on 1080p in games like "Tomb Raider", "Cities Ckylines", and "Watchdogs 2" to name a few. Keeping a budget of $1500 USD or below (going over can be considered.) 

Will be running to monitors at 1080p, OS will be Windows, white/black color scheme. 

 

I would like feedback or recommendations on the parts i've chosen, Any help is appreciated.

A set of 2666MHz memory and B360 mobo. Going for an expensive Z370 mobo and 3000MHz kit a waste of money for the minimal performance gain you will get. If you have the monye, get the 8700, not high frequency memory and an expensive motherboard.

Ideally it is always recommended to get a powersupply that ranks higher than bronze. We have a PSU list on the forums if you want to get some ideas of other possibilities

I would say maybe get a little better PSU, It will give you a bit more overhead for overclocking if you are interested and upgrades

Also spend the extra $10 on a Samsung 850 evo 250gb SSD, better overall SSD

One other thing is to make sure all of your lighting software is sync able and RGB (If that matters to you), for example all Asus aura sync, or all MSI mystic light

As a heads up the 8600 isn't oveclockable, if that is something that you were interested in I would look into Ryzen

I will also always recommend Asus products (i.e. MoBo, GPU). I would also recommend getting a strix card if the budget allows due to the better cooler

 

Some of this comes down to personal preference as well, this is what I would do, that doesn't mean that it is right or wrong, If you like one thing over another, buy the one that you like

Why not just get an unlocked CPU? You're picking up a Z370 board, so getting an unlocked CPU - in this case, get the 8600K for like £20 more - so you can play about with overclocking if you want to in the future.
