Honestly, if you are getting a 1080p monitor, then there is really no need to get a 1080. At most I would go for a 1070ti, and even it will be overkill. The computer will put out more frames than the monitor's refresh rate, which means you wont see any of it in gaming. You may want to consider a 1440p/144hz monitor instead.

Either way, the 8700k is $100 more than the 8600k and there is only a couple of fps difference in most games. Not really worth the additional cost. The Asus Hero is a good board, but it is pretty high. I would go with the Asrock Extreme4. It will save you some money and will have the same performance.

I would also not suggest going with a 120mm AIO cooler. If you want a liquid AIO cooler, you need to get at...

I would also not suggest going with a 120mm AIO cooler. If you want a liquid AIO cooler, you need to get at least a 240mm rad. The 120mm just dont cool well enough and the 8th gen Intel CPUs are warm. The Corsair H110i is a very good AIO cooler.

Also, a 750 watt PSU is more than you need. In fact a 550 watt PSU would be enough. But I put a 650 watt PSU in the build because it was only a few dollars more than the 550 watt.
