Changed to a better board for better overclocking potential. Also, Ryzen needs faster RAM for optimal performance. Price remains similar.

That mobo isn't meant for gaming - especially if you're planning on buying a GTX 1080. Go with the Tomahawk instead.

Otherwise, you don't need a 700w PSU for that rig. 600w is MORE than enough. Even 550w

The cooler is decent but not the best of performer. You can get some clocks beyond the stock though...
