Good afternoon! I recently got back into PC gaming and am looking to upgrade my rig. I've been reading posts here and there that I'd get more bang for my buck if I build my own PC rather than buying a pre-made. Below is my first draft for a build:

I'm not going to get into overclocking too much at first, if so, I'd probably look into upgrading the cooler. I've read that I don't want to scrimp on the PSU so if I went overboard on it, so be it. Any feedback on this would be extremely appreciated.
A secondary question I had, with the GPU prices being the way they are now, is building your own computer still that much of an economical advantage? I found this (ABS Prime-7700 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080) PC on newegg with a GTX 1080 and i7 7700 CPU for a little less than my build. It has 1 TB less on the HDD, but otherwise similar specs (granted, the items they are using may be not great quality). I don't expect too much forecasting, but do you see GPU prices coming down at all or is this the new standard? I'd be buying the components for my build piece by piece anyways and can wait for the GPU to come down if needed.
Thank you in advance for the feedback on my build and any insight into my second question.
