Hello there,

I'm looking to replace my rig from 2012 with this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wGMfzM

the goal is to have a stable build for as long as possible. I intend to use it for mostly games.
I rarely upgrade parts or builds and by the time I do I'm so far out of touch with the industry that I feel my choices may be lacking.

Any advice overall or on specific parts or alternatives is greatly appreciated.

With a 1080ti you should go for 1440p / 144hz monitor to reach full potential of your build.
