Hi there, 

I am planing on building a gaming pc at the end of this year. I would like to get some advice from some experts or someone who knows more about pc's than me. I am planning on using it mainly for gaming and streaming but also web browsing.

Please give me some tips to improve on this PC or some advice dont worry sbout the price i just want to see if the parts are good.

I would go 16GB of ram and find a cheaper case and use that extra money saved on more ram or something. Also I'm sure you can find a cheaper SSD than that if you look a little harder. Consider 120GB because you can find them for around 40$ sometimes.

Do you already have the cpu and RAM and all that? cause there's no price listed for them. Also, $680 US is more than $680 NZ. It's about 1000 NZD

My Build, v2.1 --- CPU: i7-8700K @ 5.2GHz/1.288v || MoBo: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming || RAM: 4x4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 2666 14-14-14-33 || Cooler: Custom Loop || GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC Black, on water || PSU: EVGA G2 850W || Case: Corsair 450D || SSD: 850 Evo 250GB, Intel 660p 2TB || Storage: WD Blue 2TB || G502 & Glorious PCGR Fully Custom 80% Keyboard || MX34VQ, PG278Q, PB278Q

The Experiment --- CPU: i5-3570K @ 4.0 GHz || MoBo: Asus P8Z77-V LK || RAM: 16GB Corsair 1600 4x4 || Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo || GPUs: Asus GTX 750 Ti, || PSU: Corsair TX750M Gold || Case: Thermaltake Core G21 TG || SSD: 840 Pro 128GB || HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB

Do you have anyway to buy old computers locally?
Instead of paying $160 for Windows, you might be able to buy a old computer with a Windows 10 product key.

I think you should just look used. I can't put together a list, where everything actually has a price (unless you already own parts and didn't mention it), that is around 1k NZD. You can probably get like a 4790K/mobo combo for the same price that just a CPU will cost you new, or maybe even a 6600k/6700k
