I am building a new computer using gtx 1080. Other components must be upgraded. I have gtx 760 and i5-4670 (not k).

Components that I am thinking about is



Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro Series PH-ES614P_BK Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower

Graphic card: gtx 1080 evga sc (or gigabyte g1)

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1150 88W BX80646I74790K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 6 heatpipe with Dual NF-A15 140mm fans

RAM: Kingston Technology HyperX FURY 2666MHz DDR4 2x8GB

Motherboard: Gigabyte ATX DDR4 Intel LGA 1151 SATA E (6Gbit/s) Motherboards (GA-Z170X-Gaming 7)



I already bought power supply (EVGA Supernova GQ 650W) and storage (2x256GB Samsung SSD and 1TB HDD)

You guys have any option on the components that I am going to buy? I am willing to spend about $50 (plus minus) on each component.

First I suggest waiting till early March given the Ryzen and possible the 1080ti is launching. Could cut prices to help get better options. Also you may want to get a 7640K i5 and the new 2066 motherboard. Really should wait as the 1151 is an end of life board. where the 2066 is just starting. The motherboard will be higher priced as its a 2011 replacement.

On your list the CPU doesn't match with the motherboard and RAM. The Z170 only goes with skylake 6600k or 6700k.
