New Build: Worth almost $2000?

[xxnick2dmaxx]

What's going on guys, was going to upgrade my current rig:

GPU: Sapphire Radeon 7950 3GB DDR5
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570k (not overclocked)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master V8
MOBO: ASRock Z75 Pro3
PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W
RAM: 12GB DDR3 1333mhz
HDD: 1TB Seagate Hybrid Drive ST1000DX001 1TB MLC/8GB 64MB Cache
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912
Monitor: HP 2311x 1080p 60Hz

But I decided at the point I was getting to (looking to do a GTX 1080 upgrade) I might as well go big, or go home. So I decided I was going to completely build a new rig, and probably hand down some of my old components to my younger brother who also has custom PC. I've decided on the following, and wanted opinions on it's viability and how future-proof it is, and if you guys think it's worth the (almost) $2000 that it would cost me to upgrade.

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC GAMING ACX 3.0, 08G-P4-6183-KR, 8GB GDDR5X, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC)
CPU: Intel Core i5-6600k
CPU Cooler: Stock Cooler or Cooler Master V8 (if compatible)
MOBO: MSI Z170A Krait Gaming
PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W (Will be reusing from old rig)
RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400
HDD: 1TB Seagate Hybrid Drive ST1000DX001 1TB MLC/8GB 64MB Cache
SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 2.5" 256GB SATA III (For OS and some games)
Case: Cooler Master Storm Stryker Full ATX Tower
Monitor: ASUS MG278Q Black 27" 144 Hz 2560x1440 1ms

Subtotal from Newegg: $1791.82

Only problem I have so far is the monitor, which is FreeSync (AMD obviously) and I would like to find a Gsync monitor (Don't really want a lot bigger than my 23 inch monitor) that's 2560x1440 144hz that is "reasonably" priced. Haven't found much yet, found the monitor above for $399.99 on Newegg.

Any suggestions on the monitor situation or any part of my build would be very appreciated. Thanks guys, looking forward to the HUGE step forward in gaming and computing power.

Would upgrade the CPU to a n i7 in that price range
The GTX FTW is usually only a few bucks more expensive than the SC and uses a custom PCB
There is no stock cooler on K CPUs from 6th gen Intel CPUs. I suggest a Cryorig H7 or a Noctua NH-D14 if you want something fancier...

this dell has G Sync but comes at a 180 more price tag https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BcTrxr/dell-monitor-s2716dg

for the cooler https://pcpartpicker.com/product/93Crxr/cryorig-cpu-cooler-h7 will do the job

I think you're underestimating your processor:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory ($63.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($157.30 @ Newegg)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Superclocked Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card ($649.00 @ B&H)
Monitor: Asus PG279Q ROG Swift 27.0" 165Hz Monitor ($799.00 @ B&H)
Total: $1669.29
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

An SSD as your main drive and a step up in GPU will make a gargantuan difference, as well as a massive monitor upgrade that will keep you happy for a decade (though solidly a Nvidia GPU buyer). Just overclock your CPU, and put off the main platform upgrade for just a bit longer.

3D Xpoint/Optane compatibility is worth it, with what you have, to wait for the Z200-series (though that's my opinion). That and Kaby will represent the most refined version of this process line, and waiting should hopefully allow you to get an i7......which would be a much more 'future-proof' part.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. With the CPU cooler in specific, I know it isn't listed as being compatible with an LGA 1151 CPU, but as long as it lines up with the motherboard, shouldn't the V8 be sufficient?

^Link to the CPU cooler, yeah I know it's a bit old, but I'm not really looking to do overclocking for quite a while, I doubt it'll be necessary.
