Soon to be Build, Suggestions?

[NotMrTaco]

So, I am going to be buying a pc build soon and I wanted to have everything ready for when I have the money to buy the parts. I was wondering if there's anything I could change to it that would maybe bring the price down, or if it were be better.

To bring the prices down:

1. Buy used parts.

2. Change Liquid cooler with noctua fan.

3. If you dont wanna overclock too much B360 would suffice.

4. Non-RGB 3000MHz RAM even 2666 would be fine IMHO

5. 1060 3/6 GB could be a better choice for this build.

 

To bring more power

1. Change 8600k with 8700k

Don't plan exact parts until right before you'll buy the parts. The prices and availability changes all the time, so lists stop making sense quite fast. 

Also, read this

I just wanted to point out B360 is a locked chipset. And a 8600K can no problem handle a 1080ti.

Striked out! Thanks

If you are looking to overclock, you will need a Z series board. If you aren't overclocking, get the 200MHz slower i5 8400 and a B360 board to save a penny. Intel doesn't benefit from fast ram speeds, so you can look into dropping that speed while keeping the RGB'ness. A 650W PSU will also work fine.
