You`re welcome, but J_E_D_70 Has a very good point about coffee lake. maybe think a little more before you settle.

Personally, maybe i`d try to go for a liquid AIO or something, instead of an air cooler, just beacuse the i7-7700K is known for good overclocks, but also higher temps when doing so. Apart from that, i`d say this is a pretty good build!

Thx for the time you have taken do look it through. nice to hear that the build is good :)

Can you recommand some liquid AIO for this build and is this hard do install or is theire anithing I must pay attention when I´m building it into the case? I have only build Systems with air cooler for myself till now, so I have no experience with liquid AIO

There are many diffrent AIOs (im sure you know) but the main factor is how big is. In your case, i`d maybe suggest using a 120-140mm radiator one, since those are easier to handle. i`d suggest maybe cooler master hydro H60, or NZXT kraken X42 (or X41, depending on if you want RGB or not.)

 
Think I'd go Cryorig H5 over liquid but that's personal preference.

Also, Coffee Lake announcement tomorrow so they should be coming soon. Don't pull trigger on Kaby just yet.

Also, do you really have to go wireless... I'd figure out a way to be wired if possible.

I will ask my brother if he liked RGB, but I think that this is not so importend for him - I think the Hydro H60 will do the job and save some money :) Thx for your help!!!
