So for some time I've been slowly tweaking the list of parts on what I'll be using in my build. The parts are listed on http://pcpartpicker.com/list/VhwHxY. The only part I think I may change is the Motherboard, but for 189.99 on NewEgg it's not bad and from friends at some of the companies they've told me the Sabertooth Motherboard I selected is a good choice. What do you all think? This will be used for gaming, streaming and some video editing.

Well, yes the difference between the refresh rates are noticeable (After I switched to 144Hz, I never switched back to 60Hz). But, the point is not the noticeable difference, but the capabilities of the GTX 1080.

Some aftermarket fans would be nice. If you do not have one already, you should get a monitor with at least a 120Hz refresh rate and a 1440p+ resolution (This is to get the most out of your 1080). Otherwise, everything is high quality and compatible.

Thanks @MystoPigz, which would you pick fan wise from http://www.enermaxusa.com/fan.php. The reason I list that URL is because they've offered some fans if I'd like any. Also, noted on the monitor when I save to purchase that part.

Enermax fans are pretty good. They are not the best for overclocking and are not the best quality, but they will get the job done. They will probably break down quicker than the higher quality ones like Noctua and Corsair though, just to keep that in mind.

Also, sorry for the late response. :D

Why 120Hz? The difference is hardly noticeable and the I don't thing the 1080 can reach 120 FPS or the cpu on modern triple A titles, i would go 60Hz 4k moniter for about the same price.

I guess you are right, haha. Yeah, forget the high refresh rate. Just get a 1440p/4K monitor at 60Hz.

I have never experienced 120hz mainly because they aren't mainstream so I assume it's not that great of a difference, it's mainly personal preference, I feel higher resolution is more important than a little bit smoother. Idk maybe if I expierienced 120 hz I will change my opionion.
