Hey all,

Recently I decided to build my own new pc since my laptop is getting outdated. I looked around on fora for builds, but since most sites are oriented on the American hardware market most builds are not very optimal when it comes to costs since in Europe prices tend to vary. I've come up with a build that lends heavily from builds I found online:

video card : Gigabyte Aorus Geforce GTX 1080-ti
processor : intel core-i7-7700k
power supply : Evga Supernova Nex 650g
case : Phanteks Enthoo luxe
cooling: Cryorg h7
board : Gigabyte GA z270x Ultra Gaming
ram: corsair vengeance lpx 16gb
ssd : samsung 960 evo 250gb

I would like to add a 2 tb hard disk, however since i'm rather new to pc building I have no real clue as to what kind will fit in this case (since most pc builds tend to not include it in their build for some reason..). Also: could anyone verify whether this build is even plausible with this case or the the combination of components. Thanks in advance!


p.s. any tips optimizing this build are very much appreciated as well

Changes made
CPU cooler: Cryorig H7 -> Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3
MoBo: Gigabyte GA z270x Ultra Gaming -> MSI Z270 SLI Plus
HDD: none -> Hitachi (2TB)
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti -> Zotac GTX 1080 Ti
PSU: EVGA SuperNova NEXG 650 -> Seasonic G-650

Reasons why
CPU cooler: Since i7-7700K is one hot running chip, Cryorig H7 is weak to cool it. So, put a far better CPU cooler into the build.
review: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/be-quiet-dark-rock-pro-3-cpu-cooler,4350.html

MoBo: If you like the black & red theme Gigabyte has with it's MoBo, feel free to switch out the classy black looking MSI MoBo. Though, i prefer MSI MoBos since Gigabyte has history of making bad MoBos. Besides MSI, Asus is also a solid choice when it comes to MoBos.

HDD: Added reliable Hitachi 2TB HDD for your build as asked.

GPU: Put in the cheapest GTX 1080 Ti. Feel free to switch it back to your Gigabyte one.

PSU: EVGA SuperNova NEXG 650 is mediocre quality PSU made by FSP. Replaced it with good quality Seasonic unit, made by Seasonic.

All your components do fit just fine into your case and you don't get any clearance issues. Though, install RAM before installing CPU cooler, it's easier this way.
