Thank you for answer me, but I don't want to get a lower ram because this is the speed that my MOBO supports, I just wanted to know if it is stable since it is still very new at the market and honestly there are almost 0 videos about this RAM..

Edit: Also thank you for let me know that the PSU is good, but it is 850w enough for oc the i7 8700k to 5ghz together with the 1080 ti?

As the data in https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Core_i7_8700K_Coffee_Lake_Memory_Performance_Benchmark_Analysis/ shows, such high speed memory does not add significantly to performance. Get a DDR4-3000 or DDR4-3200 kit and put the savings into bumping the NVMe drive to 1TB.

 

An 850W psu is more than enough. In fact a 650W or 750W would be fine.

 

 

Okay, so I am currently planning to build a new computer and this are the components I already selected:
 

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero

 

Processor: Intel Core I7 8700K

 

Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 

 

Memory RAM: G.SKILL TridentZ  16GB 4133Mhz (cas 17)

 

Storage Unit: SSD Samsung 970 EVO 500GB & HD Seagate 1TB 7200 RPM

 

Cooler: Corsair H110i Hybrid Series 280MM

 

Power supply: Corsair 850W 80 Plus Gold Modular RM850X

 

PC Case: Corsair Graphite Series 780T Black

 

Thermal Compound: Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut

Okay.. so, I would like to know, is this system consistent? are the parts going to work well together? if yes how well they will perform in terms of Gaming?

And also, is this PSU able to handle a GTX 1080 TI Overclocked and the I7 8700K at 5Ghz? and of course, the rest of the system.

And this PC Case does it have a good Airflow?

And also, is 4133mhz good? I heard that 3600mhz is more '' stable '' what this means? will I have problems?

Good build but you won’t need those ram speeds. 3200 will do fine and your psu is also good. Idk about the case airflow tho

It is but Watts aren’t all that you should look at for a PSU. Don’t get an SSHD cuz the “SSD side” has super small cache and it’ll only be fast on a few programs and games at best. Normal HDD and SSD is great enough and if you really want to get that speed ram you do you but If you wanna buy it cuz of performance gains I don’t think it’ll be worth the price to performance you get

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Thank you, Brob, I appreciate your time. I will trust on you and get a lower ram, even because the money I have is not even so much.. I am not from the US I am from Brazil and things here are insanely expensive due to the high price of the Dollar and the lower price of our currency, Real. 

It is good to know that my PSU is going to be enough and that I don't need to spend in something that does not increase performance. :)

Thank you, I will take your answer as final and this topic will end.
