I probably should've asked what you were going to use the build for, what here's what I made; 2700X + GTX 1060 build for a little over €2000. Ryzen is great for future-proofing. This build will game well, has a 650W PSU for future expansions, and has the good ol' Ryzen core count for whatever multi-core and render tasks you need to be done.

The peripherals are purely your choice, but I've chosen ones that are generally well-renowned to be some of the greatest peripherals around.
