Hey guys I'm planning to buy this pc, custom made by myself and I'm trying to know what would you change.

PcPartPicker list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/_Dani_/saved/FR8bvK

Cpu: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler: NZXT Kraken X52 Liquid CPU Cooler
Mobo: Asus MAXIMUS IX HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
GPU: GeForce GTX 1080 TI - Still Choosing
Ram: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Storage: Samsung 960 Evo 250GB M.2 + 2 TB HDD
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W 80+ Gold

For a 2000€ what would you change?

What I would change - some parts are excessively expensive.

-The Maximus Hero adds about $130 and is functionally very similar to any $90-100 Z270 board. There are a few integrated components which are slightly different, and you might get another 2% clockspeed, but in terms of value, motherboards are one of the best ways to blow money for little gain.

Cooler - AiO watercoolers will get you maybe 2-3c lower than a $40-50 tower cooler, for 2-3x the price. In terms of value, they're terrible, but some people buy them more for aesthetics or novelty, rather than value, so that's up to you.

Yeah I chose my PC componentes for aesthetics too, because I want my "Beast" to look espectacular and not just another PC, thats why I pick the x52 Cooler instead of another one.
All mine componentes were picked by me thinking if it was going to be cool and pretty aswell as a awessome performance.
