Building a PC
i7 7700
gtx 1080 Ti
16gb ddr4
Z270 Gaming M3 Mother bord
3 tb HHD
and a 250 SSD
Any suggestions / opinions?
will be buying a 1440p 144 hz monitor later after getting this pc
Would a 650 PSU be enough for this build? Someone told me it was good enough but I had others tell me I need like 1000 ._.

They probably looked at the NVIDIA specs page for the GTX 1080 Ti and saw something about 600W, mistaking this for the wattage the graphics card requires, when in fact it is the recommended minimum system power with a 1080 Ti installed.
The card itself requires 250W, so 600W includes 350W for other devices.

A 650W branded PSU is just fine for you.

The 1080 Ti is an awesome card, have fun with it.

... and I'm happy to finally see somebody who understands memory. You've chosen 16GB of RAM, which is absolutely sufficient.
Many people waste money on 32GB for a gaming rig or (lol!!!) 64GB (with blinky-blinky lights, of course) ... then buy a 40-dollar no-name...

One other thing: Since you have chosen a Z270 mobo, you might as well go for the i7-7700K, even if you don't want to overclock your CPU.
If you ever change your mind about that, a regular 7700 can't do it ... and the difference in price is approx. 30 bucks.

Whichever 7700 model you get, make sure you have adequate cooling ... that CPU gets hot.

Cheers,
