650w PSU with 80+ gold certified is already good enough mate (except if you're planning on OCing so hard, might need 700/750w instead just to be safe) but if you're planning on SLI later on, stick with your PSU now
other than that, dem build bro :v
it will handle your needs just fine, although if u can wait, coffeelake is about to come out and they say it's 30% faster

Very Nice build in general. I agree the PSU is overkill unless you plan to SLI. Ryzen might be worth a look, a little less fps in current games for a lot more multi threaded performance. The consensus seem to be if you tend to multi task while gaming then Ryzen is the better option but if you just want the most performance possible in current games then i7 is still king.

I think it's maybe overstated a little though. Personally I have an ~ 2 year old 6700K/ GTX980 based machine and I've always run dual screens and often watch youtube or netflix while gaming just fine. Still if I was building now those 6 or 8 core Ryzens look pretty appealing and I'm an intel fan.

based on this web, second half of autumn 2017 (dunno what's the exact date, since in my country we only have 2 season)
also they said that contrary to the belief, coffelake works 15% better than kabylake instead of 30%

Really don't need a full tower case for a ATX board and 1 gpu, harder to cool right, huge, usually end up with all kinds of power cable extensions just to reach everything and still keep wires nice and tidy.
There's plenty of options,

for me, depends on the price, if it's the same as kabylake's or at least 10-20$ more, then yes it worth the wait, since that means coffelake gives better price/performance, if it turns out to be too expensive (like a 50$ difference or so) then it's not, except if coffelake offer something unique, which will justify the price difference, but from what i think, the kabylake price should go down a bit when coffeelake is released, so i guess it's a win-win situation to wait for a bit

btw for the OC part: 700w would be my safest bet, but a good quality 650w PSU should be able to handle it. 850w are only necessary when u're planning on SLI

I think it's more then enough what you have there mate, but I would 100% have a PC set up on the side for rendering as i know when I designed a Maya Motor bike and animated it it's really chews that ass out of your CPU. But nice build. i actually have practically the same case just the Corsair Obsidian Series 700D Edition.

A 7700k +1080ti pc will usually max out (that's 100% cpu+gpu+everything else) at somewhere around 400-450w, depending on makeup of components. A 650w psu has plenty of room, even after adding another 200w worth of OC. Reality is that's its impossible to max out a pc, it'll freeze up before allowing cpu/gpu/optical/hdd/ssd/ram etc to all run 100% simultaneously . 650w recommended is for average rated psus, based high so as to not burn out. A quality psu like that Evga Platinum will have no issues as full working loads won't go over @400w at best.

Kraken x61 and x62 are very similar, both use the same CAM software to operate. The x62 just has some minor tweaks, slightly better fans, bunch of LED stuff etc. Not enough to be worth the extra $50 u less you have it in your head that that's exactly what you want. Performance of both is similar to the h115i, but the fans are better, quieter and the software is extremely easy to use.
