Hi all. I am not new to building, but this by far the most expensive, and most power full build Ive ever done. So I would love to get some input and helpful tips, if there is any parts that are mismatched, any parts to trade off for more bang for bucks and so on. All help will be appreciated. :-)

Get a Z370 board and not a H370 since you have an unlocked Intel processor, something like an Asus ROG Strix Z370-F.

you'll need a Z370 board to overclock. you can find a 3000-3200mhz kit of ram for less. get a 1440p 144hz monitor instead.

I have looked into that list now, and it looks sweet. Unfortunately it becomes about 395 USD more expensive here in Norway. But it might be worth it still! :-)
