I wanted your opinions on this pc build. I have already order my gpu and am planning to order the cpu soon. Since im pretty much brand new to pc building. I wanted to know if using the 2x 16 gb 3200 dram would require me to O.C and if so, will it be difficult. From what i have seen on videos i simply have to adjust the XMP settings in the UEFI, im not sure about anything else im might have to do.

Thank you for any replies

To be honest, I can't say if this is a budget build or no. You have a 1080 Ti, but an 89+ Bronze PSU.

Anywho, everything looks fine, but you will need to overclock the RAM since the default is 2133mhz. I would probably recommend using XMP Profile 2.0 as it is an easy overclock. Everything will be in the guide (read it!). I also recommend getting another cooler, maybe the Cryorig R1 or something similar. Unless you do not plan to overclock the CPU.

I Have headroom up to $2000, hopefully I wont have to, however I will if I need to. I plan on doing as little overclocking as i have to.

cooler - beefier n quieter one
mobo - my choice of mobo with better cooling solutions
ram - trident z is the top of the line
ssd - more space for less money
psu - a quality one with enough headroom
