In December 2016 I'm going to build my first gaming setup. I alredy did a list of parts I want http://pcpartpicker.com/user/PcITC/saved/Nhpj4D
But I'm not sure if this is good. should I wait on a new graphics card or cpu?
Would you change anything?
Is the monitor worth it like do I need 1440p, 144Hz, G-sync and a IPS panel?
I will be playing games like Overwatch,Gta V,BF1 and BF4.
All the prices are in CHF and my budget is 3350 CHF that is about 3450 USD but here in Switzerland Parts are more expensive for instance a asus gtx 1080 strix cost
about 800 CHF which is 830 USD so please look out for that if you recommend me any other parts
And i would like it if all the parts are mostly black
Please tell which parts you would change and why. Thanks to everyone who takes his time to help me.

Cool build, very expensive though. Here are my thoughts;
1) Unless you are planning on overclocking go with air over liquid cooling. It's cheaper, safer, and overall less headache.

2) Personally I prefer to have multiple good monitors as opposed to having one amazing monitor, and although that acer is really nice I couldn't justify spending 800~ on a single monitor. Especially considering that the acer is kinda unnecessary, even with multiple titans (new titans not old ones) it is unlikely you will ever fully utilize the full 165hz display at 1440p. You can see here that a gtx 1080 has difficulty on average hitting 60fps on max settings on average at 1440p.

3) I agree with the earlier comment...

3) I agree with the earlier comment about the ssd get and evo if possible.

4) Also do you plan on doing anything other than gaming? If so I would consider a hexacore intel as opposed to a quad since that will give you more flexibility for encoding, video editing, etc. Also a xeon might be a good choice since you won't need integrated graphics, and they can (sometimes) be cheaper especially when buying used workstation or server parts.

5) As for the gpu, the gpu is the most important part of any gaming computer. The better gpu you have the better performance you will see in games. That being said the only thing faster than a gtx1080 right now is a Titan x(p). If you want to wait then it is very likely that nvidia will release a 1080 ti that has similar or better performance than the titan for less money. If you want to save more money a 1070 should be adequate especially at 1080p. But if I were you and had budgeted that much on a pc I would probably get a cheaper monitor and get a titan x(p) instead of the 1080.

These all have decent prices might be a good fit

Both have low latency (good for fps) but one has a higher refresh rate at 1080p and the other has a higher resolution. you can get the acer if you really want it but its a little overkill. Not a lot of games will hit 165 fps to take advantage of the hz rating at 1440p. And 800 is a lot for a monitor.
