So I'm planning for a build, and now that I have most of the components down, I want to know how good it is, and if I made any mistake!

CPU: i9 7920X

Cooler: CRYORIG A40 CR-A4A Hybrid Liquid Cooler 240mm Radiator with Additional Airflow Fan

Motherboard: Obviously depends on the CPU, but the X299 should do.

RAM: G.SKILL 32GB (2 x 16GB) TridentZ Series DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz For Intel Z170 Platform Desktop Memory

HDD: Seagate 4TB BarraCuda Pro 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD

Optical Drive: Ammiy USB 2.0 Compact External CD/Dvd Reader Drive

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G3, 80 Plus Gold 1000W,

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 GAMING, 11GB GDDR5X

Case:Corsair Carbide Series Black 500R Mid Tower Computer Case

Monitor: ASUS VG248QE 24" Full HD 1920x1080 144Hz 1ms HDMI Gaming Monitor

Also, as I'm still waiting for more details on the X299, I have a few additional components if the motherboard doesn't include Bluetooth...etc


Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I REV Bluetooth 4.0/Wireless AC/B/G/N Band Dual Frequency 2.4Ghz/5.8Ghz Expansion Card

TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express Network Adapter (TG-3468)

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX PCIe 5.1 Sound Card with High Performance Headphone Amp

1080P monitor makes 0 sense. No real point in a Ti for that resolution at least for gaming. I'm spending a little over 3k on my build in a few months and waiting on the next GPU bc. I believe by October something better will be out.

And obviously your choice of the new i9 7920X as it's price tag (1,100) seems good. Without any real world benchmark it's hard to honestly tell you if your build is "good". I only say this bc. CPU, GPU, Mobo are most important/expensive followed by monitor and have you have the best of the main 3.

I'm right behind you

The only reason I didn't say 4k is I've used the ROG Swift, the Acer 4k with gsync, and Im using a 4k TV now with 2 1080Ti's SLI. IMO 1440 at high FPS with Ultra settings is a better gaming experience than 4k 60fps with stuff turned down. Im actually looking into getting the newer IPS 165hz ROG Swift and going back to 1440.

I did consider a 4K monitor, but I dunno, I feel more comfortable with the smaller one I guess.
My main concern is if all parts are compatible and can work together? (Especially the PSU)

To answer that question, Yes, all the parts are good, and will work together just fine, albeit beyond overkill for 1080. As for a motherboard, look for an ROG series x299, they'll most likely have everything built in you want, i.e the Bluetooth, WiFi, sound, etc.

Needs justification IMO.

What applications would you be running that would benefit from that processor and that much RAM? Even justified, I don't see a need for a 1K watt power supply. With that budget and depending on your usage, I might consider two separate systems.
