So right now im making a list for my gaming rig, im planning on buying it for christmas, i might also buy some parts 24th this month for black friday if anything from my list is on sale, anyway right now the whole setup costs around 2050$ and i would like to keep it around that price if i want to eat anything the next days, some opinions or suggestions would be great, its my first time building a pc btw.

The build isn't bad.

I would recommend an upgrade to the power supply though, to this model (currently same price): https://www.komplett.no/product/959100/datautstyr/pc-komponenter/stroemforsyning/enheter/seasonic-focus-650w-85-gold-psu?offerId=KOMPLETT-310-959100#

All good.
Change the PSU to a better one... https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

Based on the availability at your location you can also check out the the new Coffee Lake processors for more longevity.

Hope this helps... cheers :)

thanks for letting me know about the psu, i choose that one because it was actually very cheap compared to the other ones, about the cpu cooler though, what temps should i expect and will it be enough for maybe a bit of overclock too?

The H5 is a pretty good cooler for low to medium overclocking. But the 7700k has some inherent thermal issues. If you are planning some massive clock boosts, I would recommend to go with the Cryorig R1 line or Noctua NH-D15.

thanks to both for help, wish i could choose best answer for both :) anyway shrapnel i decided to go with the psu that u recommanded me and hellfire ill just do some small overclocks to get a bit more performance, in the future i might water cool and go for some hardcore overclock tho :)

edit2: ill go for the i7 8700k instead and z370f, new price 2800$
