You need to be specific, What components do you already have, is this gonna be a brand new pc, do you have windows, do you care about aesthetics

What do you want the computer to do? Play video games? Be a server? Workstation?

I don’t have anything at the moment and really don’t know much. This will be a starter pc. Plan on using it for a lot of fps games like pubg fortnite cod ext. also streaming.

PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2vWrGG
Price breakdown by merchant: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2vWrGG/by_merchant/

CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor  ($339.99 @ Best Buy) - The best gaming CPU right now hands down.
CPU Cooler: be quiet! - Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler  ($84.99 @ SuperBiiz)  - An enormous dual-tower air cooler that will keep your CPU nice and cool even when overclocked
Motherboard: Asus - ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($203.47 @ OutletPC) - The best Z370 motherboard outside of the Maximus line also from ASUS. 
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory  ($185.98 @ Newegg) - Corsair RAM, 16GB at 3000MhZ. Great kit, I've used it before and it works great
Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($118.99 @ Amazon) - The 860 Evo is the best SATA SSD right now
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($57.89 @ OutletPC) - Hard drive that will work OK for a data/game drive. Reasonably fast for a hard drive.
Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX Video Card  ($598.69 @ B&H) - GTX 1080 Strix will run pretty much any game out there and the STRIX is the best GPU cooler on the market
Case: Fractal Design - Meshify C TG ATX Mid Tower Case  ($88.99 @ SuperBiiz) - Well reviewed case with Fractal quality
Power Supply: SeaSonic - FOCUS Plus Gold 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($81.99 @ SuperBiiz) - From experience I can say this unit is great
Case Fan: Noctua - NF-S12B redux-1200 PWM 59.1 CFM  120mm Fan  ($13.89 @ OutletPC) - If you're going to add fans to the Meshify C (you should) with this big a budget you may as well go with some good ones. Noctua makes the best fans and the Redux line are a perfect fit here
Case Fan: Noctua - NF-S12B redux-1200 PWM 59.1 CFM  120mm Fan  ($13.89 @ OutletPC)

In general, better than a GTX 1070 Ti and worse than a GTX 1080 Ti.

 

Consider a Ryzen 7 2700X. A touch less gaming performance but better for streaming.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
