So I've posted many times with around the same topic, which is this build I'm planning to get. I think that by now I've reached a final conclusion on what I want, and this was the result:

I don't really trust PCPartPicker's compatibility check so I wanted to ask here instead. Is there anything wrong or worth changing about my build? Thanks in advance!

Build can be improved by a mile, also get a mechanical keyboard. :)
Some of the razer stuff like the mousepad is unnecessary, although I use razer peripherals (and corsair) that I get from sponsors, they're not the greatest and are kind of overrated.
I love the Deathadder though, that mouse is great.
I'll post in a minute.

1. Why do you need an m.2 ssd? There are benefits, but I'd like your reasoning.
2. The NEX series PSU is pretty low end. If you are going to stick with an EVGA psu, buy G2 or GS series. Do not buy the NEX for this type of system.
3. pcpartpicker's compatibility is extremely accurate.
4. If you are going to get a budget gaming keyboard/mouse combo, get the cooler master octane. $100 is a lot for a non mechanical keyboard.

I uhh don't like Mechanicals as much ^^;
Plus I've always used Razer peripherals and really like them. How can the build be improved?

This is my first build, there are still a lot of things I don't know much about it, like PSUs. I'm completely clueless about those, haha ^^;
Eh, apart from the peripherals, how would the build be better?

if you cut out the overpriced peripherals and optimize things, the entire system with out a mouse pad comes to $28 more with a 1080.

guess chugalug was on the same thought path. he cut the speakers and headphones, i cut the mouse pad and chose lower end keyboard mouse (which is still excellent, i own it). mine has a little more upscale parts, which he budgeted into the kb/mouse.

all depends on your priorities. either way, the point is, you can afford a 1080. So get it.
