Need a new gaming rig. I'm wanting to prioritize good graphics and performance as I want this build to last for next 4-5 years if not more. Hence why I'm wanting the 1080. Honestly I just want parts that will compliment that well, dunno how much these other parts count but I'd love feedback on this build. Thanks!
 
Make a trip to the states and save $500. lol

I would also suggest getting the Samsung 960 EVO M.2 SSD. I will be a little bit more than the 850, but NVME SSDs are very fast for $40 more.

Get RAM, Motherboard and CPU cooler from Newegg and rest of the components from NCIX.
