I was wondering what you guys think of my potential build and if there is any thing different you would recommend? Also I have the cash now but would it be worth waiting until Black Friday weekend to buy parts or should I just get them now. Thanks in advance for any help.

Buy ram from a pack instead of 2 packs. Or you have misclicked on the ram twice? 650+ PSU is good enough, safe bet will be 750. Looking at ram, do you want RGB theme? What is your major usage other than gaming? Do you have the monitor? If so, what res and Hz?

How much money would I save from buying the RAM as one pack, from the looks of it, it doesn’t not seem like I would be saving any. I am trying to stick to an RGB theme, which is why I went with the kraken AIO over some Corsair one. Besides gaming I edit photos, code, edit videos, and once I get this PC I plan on streaming a little. I went with the bigger power supply because I plan on SLI in the future. Finally I plan on purchasing a 4K monitor very soon.

Buying from a pack is not to save money. Rams from a pack is tested to work together. Separate packs, no test, no confirm. It is possible your system will not recognize 32 gb from 2 packs.

Ok, that makes sense. What is the most I should pay for an asus strix 1080ti? Prices seem very weird and inconsistent right now. Also, any other recommendations?

My edits plus some RGB idea. Aura sync may help, so stick to Strix is not a bad choice. 1080ti price may drop after 1070 ti releasing soon.
